His play style is characterized by:

Elite Field Navigation: His ability to reach the top 1% of an 8,400-entry field and the top 10% of a 1,000-entry field indicates a sophisticated understanding of late-stage tournament dynamics and bubble survival.
In-The-Money (ITM) Efficiency: Throughout the 2024–2025 period, Chiang maintained a remarkably high ITM rate (exceeding 80% in major attended festivals), suggesting a disciplined approach to risk management and “small-ball” technicality.
Main Event Resilience: Unlike many players who focus on side events, Chiang’s most significant results consistently come from flagship “Main” and “Mini-Main” structures, proving his stamina for multi-day championship play.
