Strengths: Justin has a good positional understanding and seems to do very well against stronger players. GMs have lots of trouble beating him, especially when he has the white pieces.

Weaknesses: Justin is somewhat inconsistent. I've seen tournaments where he beats up on IMs and GMs, and other tournaments where he loses to very low rated players. He also seems to be weaker in fast time controls.

Amusing Story:

Justin and I have had a couple of strange games. The first time we played it was a dead equal late middlegame position and I just walked into a simple knight fork. The second game I was up a pawn in a queen ending and traded queens to a lost king and pawn endgame. Thankfully for me, Justin counted the tempi wrong and I somehow managed to win.

Reason for this song choice:
Justin is a very quiet soft spoken individual so I figured this song would fit him well.
