Furthermore, a solid portion of his games (over 60%) transitions into endgames, indicating a willingness to fight on until the later stages.
As White, thiyaga86 achieves nearly half of his overall victories, while his success rate with the Black pieces is only slightly lower. Among his opening choices, he is especially partial to King’s Pawn systems. In Blitz alone, he has employed the King’s Pawn Opening over 400 times, but he also enjoys exploring the Van ’t Kruijs Opening and various Italian lines. His careful approach in the opening often pays off with wins that stretch beyond 50 moves on average, highlighting his readiness for drawn-out battles.
Thiyaga86’s performance also hints at certain playing-time preferences: he tends to post stronger results midweek and in the later evening hours. While he does occasionally resign early in lost positions, his overall style remains combative and resilient, evidenced by modest early resignations (just about 3%). Looking at psychological tendencies, he maintains composure well but can tilt under especially tough losses.
Whether fighting through sharp bullet duels or more methodical rapid games, thiyaga86 continues to refine his craft. Fans can expect him to keep exploring new openings, pushing for better endgame precision, and striving to beat his personal best ratings in the years ahead.
