Dushasana

Who Dushasana is

Dushasana, second of the hundred sons of Dhritarashtra and Gandhari, was Duryodhana's most devoted brother and a fierce warrior. In the Sabha Parva, after the game of dice, he dragged Draupadi into the assembly at his brother's command and tried to strip away her garment, which by a wonder kept on appearing without end; Bhima then swore a terrible vow against him. Dushasana fought for the Kauravas throughout the war, and in the Karna Parva he met Bhima in battle and fell, as Bhima had vowed.

“Where my brother leads, I follow, and I hold nothing back. Brace yourself.”

How Dushasana plays chess

Fiercely loyal and aggressive, he storms forward at his brother's side and presses hard on every file, but leaves weaknesses behind him that a patient opponent can punish.

The Storm: Throws everything at your king, values activity over pawns, and hates a quiet draw.

Opening repertoire: Sicilian Defence, Grand Prix Attack · Blackmar-Diemer Gambit

Dushasana's trial lies beyond the Level 30 gate, but you can play Dushasana any time in free play.
