Career & Playing Style

Benjamin’s chess reads like a thriller: frequent swings, late comebacks and a willingness to play long endgames. He racks up thousands of fast games every year and combines tactical instinct with endurance—no surprise his average win lasts well into the endgame.

• Style highlights: high endgame frequency, strong comeback ability, patient in decisive games
• Notable tendencies: favors unusual flank development (b3 / Nimzo-Larsen family), often steers games toward complex middlegames and long endgames
• Psychology: best time of day to play is around noon; maintains a modest tilt factor, but can bounce back (Comeback Rate ≈ 68%)

Openings & Signature Moves

If opening theory had a quirky cousin, Benjamin would be its poster child. He loves the Nimzo-Larsen style (b3) and uses it as a reliable way to sidestep theory and invite opponents into unfamiliar ground.

• Favorite systems: Nimzo-Larsen Attack (b3), Amazon Attack: Siberian Attack, and a pragmatic mix of Caro‑Kann and Slav ideas in blitz
• First-move preference: b3 is a recurring theme in his recent games — a simple square that causes complex problems
• Openings with strong results: Nimzo-Larsen (extensive play and solid win rate), East Indian and Slav sidelines in bullet

Achievements & Memorable Streaks

Benjamin has collected a string of fine runs online: a longest winning streak of 18 games, many peaks over 2300+, and an ability to switch gears between bullet explosions and thoughtful rapid games.

• Longest winning streak: 18 games
• Resilience: known for coming back in the face of material deficits
• Prolific record: thousands of blitz and bullet games make up a career of constant practice and adaptation

Fun Facts & Personality

• Early resignation rate is noticeable — he knows when a position is truly gone (and when to conserve energy for the next battle).
• Likes to experiment: frequent use of offbeat openings keeps opponents on their toes.
• Best time to challenge him: around midday (his personal peak).
