Ehsan GhaemMaghami (IRI) - The Grandmaster with a Bullet Train Brain
Ehsan GhaemMaghami, proudly representing Iran, is no ordinary chess player; he's a Grandmaster, officially titled by FIDE, and unofficially dubbed the "Bullet King" of the chessboard. With a rating that once skyrocketed to a blistering 2975 in bullet chess, Ehsan's lightning-fast moves have left many opponents scratching their heads and occasionally their chess clocks.
Known for an uncanny ability to rebound from seemingly dire positions (he boasts an 87% comeback rate!), Ehsan combines deep strategic understanding with a dash of tactical wizardry. His chess style is a delightful cocktail: prefer a long game with an average of 79 moves per win, yet striking swiftly when the moment calls for it. If you thought patience ran thin in bullet chess, Ehsan disproves that by ending games with grace and precision.
Whether it's the mysterious "Top Secret" opening strategy he's deployed over 2500 times with a respectable 50% win rate in bullet, or his love affair with classical openings like the Reti and Pirc Defenses, Ehsan keeps his opponents guessing—and often gasping in disbelief. His preferred time of day to wreak havoc? The witching hour of 2 AM, proving that sleep is for the ordinary.
Blessed with a "tilt factor" that's as low as his competitors' chances are high, Ehsan's greatest streak includes an impressive 21 consecutive wins. But even grandmasters have their off days; his toughest losing streak sat at 11 games. Luckily, that's just a warm-up for what he calls "chess enlightenment."
With thousands of games played in blitz and bullet formats, and a blitz peak rating nudging past 3000, Ehsan GhaemMaghami's credentials are nothing short of spectacular. He loves a good challenge, facing fierce rivals like "theblitzchamp" and "legolas95," often emerging victorious—if not, at least entertaining the crowd.
And just to show he's still got the magic touch, his most recent win was sealed with a checkmate in a thrilling encounter on June 1, 2025, demonstrating that when Ehsan locks eyes with the board, it’s game over for the opposition.
