The Bullet Life of Shubh Laddha
Shubh Laddha, known on the board as chess123456s, is a FIDE Master who treats bullet chess like an Olympic sport. Since 2020 he has piled up thousands of games in his preferred time control, racing from roughly 2,000 to a peak of 2949 (2026-08-12). If the clock had feelings, it would probably need a vacation.
Unpredictable Openings, Durable Endgames
Shubh's repertoire is full of personality. As White he loves the Amazon Attack, and as Black he regularly dives into the Caro-Kann Defense and Sicilian Defense. His blitz numbers in the Sicialian Dragon's Yugoslav Attack are especially spicy, with a win rate near 57%.
The endgame is his comfort zone. With an 80% endgame frequency and an 86.82% come-back rate, Shubh thrives in messy positions. He even wins 46.92% of the time after losing a piece, which is a polite way of saying "never count him out."
Rivals and Repeat Customers
Every bullet grinder builds a cast of familiar opponents. Shubh has faced kramnik_the_great 181 times and won 97 of those meetings. He also has long-running series with Sherlock Holmes and cockroachdolly, proving that even online chess can feel like a neighborhood.
