At that level, blunders are rare and most non-titled opponents are beaten with consistency. With the white pieces, Pat shows a clear preference for open, attacking systems, particularly the [Centre Game](/resources/openings/centre-game), where the early d4 break challenges Black's central foothold from the first moves. As Black, he relies on the classical [Giuoco Piano](/resources/openings/giuoco-piano), developing the kingside bishop early and keeping control of key squares before castling. Visitors should expect a precise, patient opponent who builds pressure gradually rather than forcing matters, and who punishes inaccurate moves with master-level technique through the middlegame and endgame.","34","Tfkxu","Netherlands","nl","609fdc20ca0168b91392cb62d133fb69ac3d9c52946226f0df4c9da83da84123","2026-07-06",2693,"json",[15,18,21],{"question":16,"answer":17},"What rating is Pat?","Pat's estimated rating is 2693 Elo. That places him between national master and FIDE master strength, near the professional level. At this rating he rarely blunders and beats most non-titled players with consistency.",{"question":19,"answer":20},"What opening does Pat play?","With white Pat most often opens with the [Centre Game](/resources/openings/centre-game), and also turns to the [Ponziani](/resources/openings/ponziani) and [Scotch Game](/resources/openings/scotch-game) for open, attacking play. With black his main weapon is the [Giuoco Piano](/resources/openings/giuoco-piano). His repertoire favors classical, open structures over deep mainline theory.",{"question":22,"answer":23},"Can master-level players beat Pat?","Yes, titled masters and strong experts can beat Pat in individual games, since 2693 falls in the national-master to FIDE-master band rather than grandmaster territory. International masters and grandmasters will tend to win matches against him over a long series. Untitled club players, however, will only score occasional wins.","Life is a cycle, chess is my track; I race to checkmate, no looking back.","Male","Hup hup! Ready to roll up to the start line?
