As far as i know he only plays a weird game of chess called wild5 where
white begin and wins. all pawns from white are at 7th row and black
are at 2nd row. the pieces from white are from a8..h8 , so you need to
start moving knights and white can already build up a deadly advantage
as black besides being a tempo less directly loses a few tempi to counter
whites initial strike, resulting in a direct queen up for the
rest of the game.
