In short
Activist, by a nose. Across 34,232 games you push the f-pawn early in 20 % of your games (your opponents: 9 %), castle long in 24 % of the games where you castle (16 %) and finish 19 % of your wins with mate (16 %). The pragmatist is close behind: only 18 % of your losses come on time, against 27 % of your opponents'.
What stands out
- The Trompowsky works for you. As white it scores 5.4 ± 2.6 points per 100 games above what the ratings predicted, over 1,983 games; the Raptor Variation alone 9.6 ± 5.3 (441 games).
- You play up, not down. Against opponents of equal rating or stronger you score about 3 points per 100 above expectation (+3.1 ± 1.0 against equals, +3.5 ± 1.9 against 51–150 stronger). Against players 150 or more points below you it is −3.2 ± 0.8 over 8,402 games. Part of this is the rating formula, which overrates favourites, but on this many games the swing is real.
- Long games favour you: +3.9 ± 0.8 in games of 46 moves or more (11,084 games).
- Cleaner than your opponents lately: 1.4 blunders per game against 1.6 (difference −0.19 ± 0.15 per game) in your last 300 blitz and rapid games.
- No tilt. After one, two or more losses in a row your results stay within luck of what the ratings predict.
What to try
- Treat weaker opponents like equals. That is where the points leak: −3.2 ± 0.8 per 100 games against players 150+ below you, the single biggest group in your history.
- Look again at the Caro-Kann Classical as black: −22.6 ± 16.5 over 48 games. Few games, but the gap clears even the strict bar used for openings.
What stands out
Big numbers are points per 100 games above or below what the ratings predicted; only groups beyond luck are shown. The rest compare you with opponents of your level in the same games.

Engine review
Stockfish 19 checked your last 300 blitz and rapid games, from 11 September to 22 October 2026; bullet is left out by default. Mistakes per game are level with your opponents; the blunder gap is small but beyond chance.
Stockfish 19, depth 12: 300 games from 2026-09-11 to 2026-10-22. Errors use lichess's thresholds; accuracy uses a lichess-style formula and is not comparable with chess.com's figure.
