Playing Style

An unpretentious tactician with a flair for long games: Anonymous sees endgames more than half the time (Endgame Frequency ~55.7%) and tends to grind through long battles (Avg moves per win ≈ 52). They're resilient — a comeback rate of 78% — and not quick to resign early (Early resignation rate ~3%). Expect a patient player who prefers to outmaneuver opponents rather than rely on lightning tactics alone.

• Best time to play: afternoons — peak performance around 15:00.
• Aggressive in openings, steady in the endgame.
• Psychology: Tilt factor 12 — keeps calm enough to stage comebacks, but coffee helps.

Notable Openings & Preferences

Anonymous shows a clear love for the Scotch and related open games, but also keeps trickery in the bag with the Blackburne Shilling Gambit now and then. In rapid play they score well with solid replies like the Philidor and even punchy Caro‑Kann Exchange lines.

• Favourite targets: Scotch Game, Blackburne Shilling Gambit
• Reliable choices: Philidor Defense, Caro-Kann Defense: Exchange Variation
• Often opens with e4 — the classic sign of someone who enjoys open, tactical middlegames.
