Despite the gentle framing of weekly parochial meetups, Mig competes at an estimated 3197 Elo, a super-grandmaster strength that places him beyond nearly every titled human and squarely in engine territory. With the white pieces he leans into the [London System](/resources/openings/london-system), building the familiar d4 and e3 structure before posting a knight on e5.
