Who Is Pranav Prem?

Pranav Prem, known online as doublesik, is a titled National Master who has built his reputation in the fastest format on the board. If you have ever queued up for a one minute bullet game and found yourself staring at an opponent who calmly walks into a French Defense and then outlasts you for 78 moves, you have probably met doublesik.

A Bullet Odyssey

Pranav's preferred time control is clearly bullet. His numbers tell the story of a player who simply does not stop grinding, with tens of thousands of bullet games played under the doublesik handle. The journey is one of relentless volume and stubborn resilience.

His peak bullet rating reached 2869 (2026-04-21), and his longest winning streak hit 39 consecutive wins. Even when things go wrong, he does not go quietly: his longest losing streak is ten games, but his comeback rate is a remarkable 84.6 percent. He also loves the late game, with an endgame frequency of 84 percent and an average winning game that stretches well past move 75. In bullet. That is almost impressive enough to make opponents forget they are also losing on time.

Opening Repertoire

As White, doublesik is a loyal 1.d4 player. He has played the Queen's Gambit Declined in huge numbers, and he willingly wades into well known structures in search of a small edge. His opening stats also show a soft spot for the Amar Gambit, an offbeat line that keeps his bullet games from ever feeling predictable.

As Black, he leans heavily on the French Defense and has excellent numbers in the Sicilian Defense, especially in rapid play. Opponents who hope to outbook him often discover that doublesik is perfectly happy to nurse an endgame for another 30 moves instead.

Familiar Rivals

Every prolific bullet grinder builds a list of familiar enemies. Pranav's most played adversary is shlumpino, whom he has faced 82 times and beaten 75 times. That is a lopsided rivalry by any standard. He has also tangled 98 times with defenstrator, 94 times with jtayar88, and 91 times with xtrmntr78. Against shlumpino especially, doublesik seems to have found the cheat code: put pieces on the board, outlast the clock, and add another small win to the endless bullet war.

Inside the Numbers

A few fun facts from his games:

• Across analyzed games, he has been involved in more than 93,000 checks, with the queen delivering most of the punishment.
• He wins 66 percent of games against lower rated opposition and 53.7 percent against equal rated peers.
• His best day to play is Sunday, and his best hour is 5 AM, when his win rate jumps above 60 percent.
• His average winning game is a marathon of more than 78 moves. In bullet, that means he is either an endgame savant or the most patient person on the internet.

Pranav Prem may hold the National Master title in classical chess, but online he is doublesik, the bullet survivor who turns one minute into an 80 move endgame. Respect the grind.
