Mike P. (aka cm2000): The Bullet Barrage Maestro

Meet Mike P., a chess player whose battlefield is the lightning-fast world of bullet chess, and sometimes blitz and rapid—because who wants to slow down, right?

A Journey Through the Ranks

Mike started making his move back in 2010, quickly climbing the bullet ladder, reaching a remarkable peak rating of 1977 in May 2011. In blitz, he attained a commendable high of 1885 around the same time and showed solid skills in rapid play with a peak of 1765.

Style and Strategy

Known for his early resignation rate of just under 1%, Mike is nothing if not a fighter, showing a genuine love for the endgame with a frequency of nearly 70% of his games. He tends to outlast opponents, winning with about 58 moves on average and losing with more than 62—true testament that he battles till the last second.

His comeback rate of over 84% confirms he’s the kind of player who doesn’t just say “check” but “checkmate, eventually.” And when Mike loses a piece? Well, he still manages to triumph about 39% of the time—a glimmer of hope for anyone who’s had a piece accidentally wander off.

The Stats That Matter

• Total Bullet Games: Over 5,500 played (roughly 2,225 wins, 3,225 losses, with a sprinkle of draws)
• Blitz Records: Nearly 2,000 games logged, showing a respectable 44% win rate
• Rapid Highlights: Limited but mighty, with a 56% win rate keeping his rapid games sharp
• Longest Winning Streak: 10 games — a mini monster streak of brilliance
• Longest Losing Streak: 17 games — showing even the greats occasionally enter the doldrums
• Best Hour to Play: 10:00 AM, when the mind is freshest and blunders are least frequent
• Win Rate By Day: Thursdays and Saturdays usher in his best fortunes, hovering near 46%

Opening Mysteries and Top Secrets

Mike has a curious taste for the "Unknown Opening" in bullet games, wielding it in over 4,500 encounters with a win rate around 41%. His "Top Secret" opening, though less successful (~39% win rate), adds a little mystery to his style—no spoilers here!

Notable Opponents & Psychological Trends

Mike faces a variety of opponents—from “splasiskaya” to “mr_will”—with mixed results but a notable fierce spirit. His psychological tilt factor is 17, meaning every loss stings slightly but never derails him. Also, the difference between his rated and casual wins sits around -9%, suggesting that sometimes he enjoys a bit of casual chaos more than the pressure cooker of rated games.

Recent Battles in the Arena

As recently as January 29, 2014, Mike dazzled opponents with sharp and tactical play in French Defense variations, edging out wins through resignation, demonstrating patience and precision. Even when tasting defeat, his games are packed with intricacies worthy of a chess connoisseur's attention.

Fun Facts

Did you know Mike can magically turn a losing position into a tallying win? His comeback rate says yes! Also, if the clock is ticking past 10 AM on a Thursday or Saturday, don't be surprised if Mike’s on the board, probably sipping coffee and plotting a knight move that’ll make you scratch your head.

In a nutshell: Mike P. is the bullet chess warrior you want on your side—fast, tenacious, and ever-so-slightly mysterious in his opening choices. Challenge him at your own risk!
