It's his reasoning behind things now and then both, the way he acts towards Nanaly (which seems to be the way he acted to most people he didn't feel threatened with, when he was young) plus the way he worded stuff as a kid that led me to this conclusion. I do have um kinda a soft spot for kids, of course, so I'm hardly unbiased.
I'll admit to wanting him to do more interesting tactics somewhere around Episode 10, but from then to now I've dealt with the fact that Lulu goes with the most practical way out of a situation, and not the most spectacular. It's the way you win chess, after all, a series of sensible plans instead of whizbang movements (unless *that* is needed). It's just that he was fairly unconventional in his Episode 1 Chess and I think fans wanted that to extend to his plans, when it was really just an illustration of his methods.

Aye, and that's the problem, isn't it?
