In classical chess,nihal is very solid player.He is unbeaten in last 50+ matches.very solid ,but 60- 70% of these matches end up in draw.Which is why he stuck in the late 2600's. In general if he is playing in your team ,he will guarantee minimum a draw (half points) in all games.But a slow progress in his individual rating. I wish he will play more agreesive in classical,rather than playing for draw.Thats the difference between his classical and blitz rating.
