bonk28 - The National Master of National

Meet bonk28, a National Master with a flair for blitz and bullet chess that would make even the grandest grandmasters raise an eyebrow. Known for a tactical awareness so sharp it borders on psychic, bonk28 boasts a staggering 100% win rate after losing a piece – because why not turn adversity into victory every single time?

In 2023 alone, bonk28 crushed opponents over 546 blitz games with a peak rating of 2453 and dominated 41 bullet games reaching a max of 2320. Whether it’s lightning-fast bullet duels or adrenaline-pumping blitz battles, bonk28's style combines patience and precision—averaging 74 moves per win—like a slow-burning chess ninja.

With a longest winning streak of eight games, bonk28 has shown resilience and endurance, even if the current streak clocked in at zero (everyone deserves a breather, right?). Often flexing the enigmatic "Top Secret" opening, bonk28 keeps rivals guessing while maintaining a respectable ~51–53% win rate across both formats.

Not just a player but a psychological wielder of chess mojo, bonk28's tilt factor is low at 8, indicating cool nerves and steady hands during firestorms. Playing strengths spark especially on Monday and Friday, with win rates peaking near 57%—perhaps a weekend warm-up strategy?

Off the clock, bonk28 is known for a dash of humor, a sprinkle of mystery (especially regarding the "Top Secret" openings), and a legendary collection of 100% win rates against a handful of opponents named ghostsareback, re_ondas, and more – spooky stuff indeed!

In short, bonk28 is a National Master who plays with a sly grin, a steady hand, and a blitzkrieg mindset that could give even the toughest rivals a run for their money.

Hi bonk28! — Personalised Post-Session Report

Quick snapshot

  • Peak bullet rating so far: 2320 (2023-07-31)

What you are already doing well

  1. Tactical vision & creativity. Your win over ghostsareback featured the sparkling 28.Nh5! Rg5+ 30.Qf6#. You regularly spot forcing lines others miss in bullet time.
  2. Activating pieces early. Pawn breaks such as f4/f5 (vs fevf07) and queenside a-pawn pushes (vs re_ondas) keep opponents permanently on the back foot.
  3. Converting clear advantages. In the French Rubinstein miniature you simply marched the a-pawn to promotion, resisting the temptation to look for flashier finishes—a great practical choice in 60-second games.

Largest improvement opportunities

  1. Time-management discipline.
    Three recent defeats (e.g. vs fevf07, te time) were won or equal positions lost on time.
    • Set a “panic threshold” of 15 s—switch to safe moves & pre-moves the moment you hit it.
    • Bank 2-second increments by pre-moving forced recaptures and checks.
    • Train with 1+1 to learn how a single second can be recycled infinitely when you simplify.
  2. Prepared answers to anti-Sicilians.
    Difficulties arose against the Mengarini (2.a3) and the pin line 6.Bd3.
    • Against 2.a3 prefer 2…d5! or 2…e6 & …d5, hitting the centre before White’s queenside rolls.
    • Versus 6.Bd3 in the Taimanov, adopt the modern setup …Nge7–g6–Bg7 instead of the early …e5 which weakened dark squares vs 1cbb.
  3. Central safety in the Kan as White.
    The time-forfeit versus chessfeels started when …b5 and …Qe5+ landed. Delay castling until you’ve played h3 and Be3/Bd3, or insert c3 to deny …Qe5 tactics.
  4. Bullet endgames.
    In the rook ending vs fevf07 you were fine but flagged. General rule: in bullet, trade the last pair of rooks only if it forces a drawn pawn ending; otherwise keep rooks, spam checks, and steal seconds.

Model game to emulate


Next-week action plan

  • Play 20 bullet games without ever dipping under 5 s; record how often you succeed.
  • Memorise a five-move crisis repertoire against 2.a3 and 6.Bd3—you should be able to blitz it out blindfold.
  • Solve one set of 20 “quiet defence” tactics each day to balance your attacking bias.
  • Tag every flag-loss “time-trouble” and review them in one sitting at week’s end.

Keep the energy and creativity, bonk28—patch these small leaks and 2300+ bullet is within striking distance!
