Rated around 1555, Wood sits comfortably in the intermediate club bracket: he knows enough theory to handle the first dozen moves of his favourite lines, can calculate two or three moves ahead, and brings serviceable endgame technique to a position. As white he gravitates toward the [Italian Game](/resources/openings/italian-game), a natural fit for a craftsman who prefers steady development over flashy gambits. His repertoire is narrow but familiar, built from a small handful of opening systems rather than deep preparation. Visitors can expect a thoughtful game with a slight willingness to sharpen the position when an opening invites it, and the occasional offbeat sideline that rewards careful, accurate play.","29","oPpLa","Ireland","ie","9a06678c28bec719945230a32afa6588308963f49415d3f21f0959f18c055936","2026-07-06",1555,"json",[15,18,21],{"question":16,"answer":17},"What rating is Wood?","Wood is rated approximately 1555 Elo, placing him in the intermediate club player bracket.
