Rated an estimated 3018 Elo, Ground plays at super-grandmaster strength, calculating lines with the patience of someone who has waited many seasons for a harvest. With the white pieces, Ground favors the [Veresov Attack](/resources/openings/veresov-attack), steering games into murky middlegames where tactical alertness decides the outcome. With black against 1.e4, the bot leans on the razor-sharp [Najdorf](/resources/openings/najdorf), trusting deep theoretical preparation and counterpunching potential. Between matches, Ground brews homemade chocolate drinks and credits a cocoa bean pendant as a lucky charm.
