The Bullet Marathoner
Azad Abbasov, better known online as azadabbas, is a chess player who never met a clock he couldn't race. Since 2016, he has piled up more than 11,000 rated games, and the bulk of those, over 10,400, were played in the white heat of bullet chess. What began as a casual flirtation in the 1200s evolved into a serious online habit.
His bullet curve is a steady upward grind, with occasional cliffs and spectacular recoveries:
By the summer of 2026, Azad had pushed all the way to a bullet peak of 2652 (2026-08-14), a number that puts him comfortably in the fast lane of online speed chess.
A Repertoire Built for Chaos
Open theory purists should look away. Azad's white repertoire is a love letter to the offbeat: the Amar Gambit, the Nimzo-Larsen Attack, and the King's Indian Attack all make regular appearances. He happily wades into the Australian Defense, collects Barnes Defense games like souvenirs, and occasionally visits the Ruy Lopez just to keep opponents guessing.
His win rate by opening is as wild as the openings themselves:
A Fighter Until the Last Second
The stats show a player who simply refuses to fade. He resigns early only 1.85% of the time, and with an endgame frequency around 77%, he regularly drags opponents into deep, demanding positions. Even after dropping a piece, he still manages to win 44.32% of those games, and his comeback rate of 77.91% means a lead against him is never truly safe.
Familiar Faces in the Lobby
Every serious online grinder develops rivalries, and Azad has a few. His most frequent opponent is DrShawnChessWorld, who has played him 64 times, with Azad taking 25 wins, losing 30, and drawing 9. Another regular dance partner, Mihael Ankerst, has faced him 55 times, where Azad holds a 29 to 24 edge. These are the names that populate his bullet battlegrounds.
By the Numbers
- Over 10,400 bullet games and counting.
- Longest winning streak: 11 consecutive wins.
- Longest losing streak: 19, proof that even bullet warriors bleed.
- Best hour: 07:00, where he wins 61.4% of the time.
- Tilt factor of 19, which is almost low for someone with this much bullet mileage.
The Verdict
Azad Abbasov is not just a bullet player; he is a bullet institution. With a fearless approach to strange openings, an absurd tolerance for long games at fast time controls, and a lengthy list of rivals, he embodies the chaotic joy of online speed chess. Whether you meet him at 07:00 or midnight, you will know you have been in a game.
