The question we answer
If we choose this position, what is this opponent likely to do — and why do we believe that?
A useful opponent file is more than a collection of games. We examine repertoire frequency alongside recent changes, preferred structures, decisions in similar positions, and how the opponent adapts after a surprise or loss. Every forecast should carry its evidence and uncertainty.
