Sriram Krishnakumar - The FIDE Master with a Bullet Blaze
Meet Sriram Krishnakumar, also known in the virtual battlefield as 2008king. Awarded the prestigious FIDE Master title, Sriram is a chess connoisseur whose rapid-fire Bullet rating once rocketed from the humble 1034 to a flaming 2696 – impressive enough to scare even the boldest knights and bishops!
Chess Career Highlights
- Bullet Chess: Sriram’s sparkling peak rating of 2696 in bullet chess is a testament to their lightning-fast mind and nerves of steel. With over a thousand wins, including a breathtaking 21-game winning streak, this speedster no longer just mashes the clock but shatters it.
