The Teemo Who Eats Clocks
Mai Narva, known online as bulleteemo, is a FIDE International Master who treats the chess clock like a personal alarm system. Some players join a game to start a conversation; Mai joins a game to end it. The nickname may be a nod to a famously annoying champion, but the style is all chess: precise when needed, ruthless when possible, and happier in bullet than almost anywhere else.
The online playing history tells the story of someone who has never once seen a one-minute increment as a problem. When bullet starts, the opponent has exactly enough time to realise they have already lost. The entire player profile is a warning label: do not expect a peaceful Ruy Lopez unless you are the one suffering through it.
Bullet Is the Main Event
If the lineup had a headline, the headline would be bullet. The record contains 961 bullet wins, 698 losses, and 83 draws, which is more bullet games than the player ever had rapid games, daily games, and blindfolded attempts combined. The streak counter goes up to 25 consecutive wins, and even at the current level, Mai is still pressing the clock like an early morning gift. A full rating map of the journey lives under
, and it goes from scrap packing at 1322 all the way to 2791 (2026-02-28) at the top. Need convincingly, the blitz side is not quiet either; 2817 (2026-03-12) is the kind of number that makes the opponent turn the phone face down.This player is not built for long silent draws. Mai’s longest losing streak is nine, but the winning streak is 25, and when a chess player has a comeback rate of 86.6 per cent, the phrase too late to recover loses most of its meaning. The early resignation rate is almost zero, which means you will almost certainly have to finish what she started.
Openings of a Clock Assassin
Mai does not mind spending time on theory. White has a favourite weapon in the solid Caro-Kann Defense line, often reaching above fifty per cent at speed. The deeper love, however, goes to the Sicilian Defense, where Black gets to say no early and strike the first counterpunch. Against the stronger known names, Mai also rotates through the French Defense: Advance Variation, beating it with a 58.8% win rate in bullet and tightening the grip on her weekend opponents.
White has a special side: against an 17 point rating opening, she scores at 40. That kind of score is less about opening preparation and more about a predator who only needs one square to get her teeth in. The table of wins described in
should probably be printed and taped to a chess board before attempting a late-night sit-in.Head to Head and Dangerous Friends
Some screen names appear on every Japanese server feeling like old friends. Old friends get confusing. For Mai, the most persistent opponent is percivalfigaro, a player who has met her 58 times. The score in that connected little saga says 56 wins to 2 losses for Mai. That is not a rivalry; that is a teaching schedule.
Not everyone plays the victim. parissg holds a 14-5 edge in the meeting archive, which is an extra story about how even a bullet master can meet a bullet of their own. In a world where the user beyond has only 34% wins against higher rated opponents, these others create a small section of humility among the usual period excitement.
The Comeback Package
Mai also numbers with surprise package: after losing a piece, the win rate still sits at 52.9 percent, and the one-sided loss rate is almost a comma: 1.4 percent. This is not a player who tilts away after the first dropped pun. The early-resignation rate is also tiny, so the opponent must always be prepared to find a mate in the empty desert of the cockpit.
For those who believe in circadian playing, the inner data recommends 06:00 as the best hour to try a bullet stop. At that hour, the loss rate among opponents is not in their favour. Perhaps at that sunrise hour, the clock belongs to Teemo.
The 2026 Ascension
By 2026, Mai entered a large 33-day period with 119 blitz games and 73 bullet games in a single month. That is a lot of moved mice, but the road shows no sign of stopping. The blitz curve has climbed to the same ridge as the bullet curve, and the nickname bulletteemo finally makes sense everywhere. If the graph is any guide, the opponent left wondering whether they are 20 moves deep or 200 moves around. The only safe advice in the bio: if you spin up a table and see bulletteemo enter, feel free to choose the fastest time control on the menu; you won’t have time to regret it either.
