Mohammadamin Biriya: The Bullet-First FIDE Master
Mohammadamin Biriya, better known on the board as Amin_Biriya, is a FIDE Master who lives at bullet speed. In 2026 he rocketed from the low 1600s to a peak bullet rating of 2979 (2026-09-26), and in blitz he reached 2682 (2026-09-22). The chart below shows how quickly his bullet rating exploded once he found his rhythm.
A Repertoire Built on Surprise
As White, Biriya leans heavily on 1.d4 and 1.Nf3, with 122 d4 games and 90 Nf3 games in 2026. That foundation feeds a system-based style, often steering into the London System and the Colle System. His results in the Poisoned Pawn Variation and the Rhamphorhynchus Variation show that he enjoys sharp, offbeat lines. As Black he is comfortable in the Modern Defense, the Pirc Defense, and the Australian Defense, where he has been especially dangerous.
Clutch Play and Comebacks
Biriya rarely goes away quietly. His comeback rate is an outstanding 89.75 percent, and he still wins 53.94 percent of games after losing a piece. His games tend to go deep, averaging around 90 moves per decisive result, and he reaches the endgame in 85.59 percent of his battles. He also punishes lower rated opponents hard, winning 71.49 percent of those matchups, while his strength adjusted win rate sits near 58.8 percent in bullet and 73.6 percent in blitz.
- Longest winning streak: 11 games
- Longest losing streak: 7 games
- Best time of day: 12:00, with a perfect 100 percent win rate
- Favorite checking piece: the queen, with 492 checks in 2026
Known Rivalries
Biriya has faced a handful of opponents often enough to build real rivalries. His most frequent foe was emperorsixseven, with 11 meetings and a strong 7 to 4 record in his favor. He also handled Jose Fabian Benito Colmenares well, finishing 3 wins, 1 loss, and 2 draws. But some matchups have haunted him. Gianmarco Leiva Rodríguez has won all six of their encounters, and Sergey Sklokin-Bagiyan holds a 4 to 0 edge. Those rivalries show that even a bullet specialist can have a nemesis or two.
Fighting Spirit
One of the most telling stats is his early resignation rate of just 1.18 percent. Biriya fights until the end, and he delivers checkmate in 11.71 percent of his games. His one sided loss rate is also tiny, which means he is rarely blown off the board. For a player who prefers the fastest time control on the site, that resilience is rare and impressive.
