Russell Bik: The BoxCup Chronicles

Some chess players study endgame tablebases. Some meditate on positional subtleties for hours. Russell Bik, known to the online battlefield as BoxCup, chose a different path: playing bullet chess at a volume that can only be described as industrial. With over 27,000 bullet games on record, Russell does not play chess so much as he inhabits it, one thirty-second skirmish at a time.
