How to Beat Stonewall Sven
- Stonewall Sven avoids risk and rarely creates threats — take the initiative early and keep pushing.
- Build up a slow positional advantage; defensive bots will not punish patient maneuvering.
- Open the position once you have more active pieces — passive bots struggle when lines open.
- Do not be afraid to commit pieces forward. Defensive play only works if the attacker overextends.
