DoodlesTV: The Bullet Board Warrior
DoodlesTV is a chess addict with a serious preference for the fastest format on the board: bullet. While the account has dabbled in daily, rapid, and blitz chess, the real story lives in the thousands of one-minute games played since September 2017. With more than 23,000 rated bullet games under the belt, DoodlesTV is the kind of player who treats the clock as a second opponent and the flag as a trophy.
From Daily Dabbler to Bullet Brawler
The journey started modestly in early 2016 with daily chess, where DoodlesTV showed early promise by winning 21 of 26 games. By late 2017 the switch flipped, and the real grind began. The bullet rating climbed steadily from around 800 to a peak of 2123 (2023-07-31) in July 2023, with a monstrous 2,770-game month in February 2023 that would make any wrist ache.
The rating trajectory reads like a love letter to persistence. A jump from 814 in 2017 to 1,601 in 2018, then 1,703 in 2019, followed by a slow burn through the 1,800s and 1,900s until finally cracking 2,100 in late 2022. The climb was never smooth, but the direction was always forward.
- Longest winning streak: 26 games
- Longest losing streak: 49 games, survived with style
- Current winning streak: 17 games and counting
- Peak bullet rating: 2123 (2023-07-31)
Signature Openings and a d4 Addiction
If there is one thing DoodlesTV loves more than the bullet clock, it is the queen's pawn. Since 2018 the white repertoire has been built almost entirely around 1.d4, with 6,199 d4 openings in 2023 alone. As black, the French Defense is the comfort zone, appearing in over 2,000 bullet games, often heading into the Exchange or Advance variations.
There is also a playful side. DoodlesTV has racked up nearly 1,000 games in the Amar Gambit, a cheeky 1.Nh3 opening that confuses opponents before the coffee kicks in. Throw in the Australian Defense, the Barnes Opening: Walkerling, and plenty of Diemer-Duhm Gambit chaos, and you get a player who values fun as much as rating points.

Rivalries and Frenemies
Every grinder needs a dance partner, and DoodlesTV has a few. The most frequent tango is with aviumm, a 343-game rivalry that tilts heavily in DoodlesTV's favor with 261 wins. Then there is louvielou, another frequent foe who has felt the sting 146 times in 171 meetings.
But every hero needs a kryptonite. Enter Fabien Libiszewski, the only opponent who truly owns this matchup: 70 games, 69 losses for DoodlesTV, and exactly one lonely win. Some rivalries are about glory; others are about learning humility. The fablibi saga is definitely the latter.
- vs aviumm: 261 wins in 343 games
- vs louvielou: 146 wins in 171 games
- vs fablibi: 1 win and 69 losses in 70 games
- vs mikekay: a competitive 18 wins to 32 losses
The Grinder's Mentality
DoodlesTV is not a quitter. The early resignation rate sits at just over 1 percent, and the comeback rate is a staggering 91.52 percent. Even after losing a piece, DoodlesTV still wins 46.77 percent of the time, a number that terrifies opponents who celebrate too early. The endgame appears in nearly 79 percent of games, meaning this player is happy to outlast anyone in the mud.
The clock is also a weapon. Timeout wins outnumber timeout losses by more than 2,600 games, making DoodlesTV a certified flagging artist. The best time to play is 9:00 AM, when the mind is fresh and the tilt factor is a manageable 49. Whether winning 26 straight or losing 49 straight, the response is always the same: queue up another bullet game and try again.
