elenakotrikadze: The Bullet Streamer Who Never Stops Clicking
Relentless is the word that best describes elenakotrikadze. A streamer, a night owl, and one of the most active competitors in their rating neighborhood, they have turned online chess into an endurance sport. From modest beginning in rapid time controls to a 1633 (2026-08-27) peak in bullet, their journey is full of volume, variety, and stubborn comebacks.
Fast and Fearless in Bullet
elenakotrikadze clearly prefers the fastest lane on the chess board: bullet. The rating chart below shows their explosive bullet progress from 2024 through 2026, when they went from mid-pack scrambler to a genuinely dangerous speed player.
In bullet, they lean heavily on the Sicilian Defense as Black, with more than 700 recorded games in that opening alone. A typical Sicilian start from their account might look something like this:
They also enjoy the chaos of the Amar Gambit and the solid reliability of the Scandinavian Defense. No matter the opening, the goal is always the same: create chances before the clock runs out.
An Opening Explorer at Heart
Despite the bullet-heavy schedule, elenakotrikadze is not a one-trick player. Their opening stats show real variety across rapid, blitz, and daily games. They score well in the Queen's Gambit Accepted, use the Benoni Defense in tense battles, and happily walk into unusual lines that most players would avoid. The chart below gives a taste of their opening performance mix.
Their games often run deep, with an endgame frequency over 71 percent and average losses lasting longer than average wins. That suggests a player who makes opponents work for every point and rarely allows a quiet finish.
Rivalries That Define a Career
Every marathon runner has familiar faces along the route. elenakotrikadze has faced fwyee 70 times and turned that pairing into a personal highlight reel with 68 wins. The battles with yoyopro18 stretch across 76 games and remain fiercely competitive, with elenakotrikadze holding a 62 to 14 edge. Then there is boishack, the toughest puzzle yet, having won 66 of their 90 meetings. Every great story needs a rival, and boishack fills that role perfectly.
Mindset and Comebacks
The most impressive part of the profile is not the speed, it is the refusal to quit. elenakotrikadze has a comeback rate near 85 percent, and even after losing a piece they still win 46 percent of the time. That fighting spirit helped produce a 49 game winning streak, and it also carried them through a rough 17 game losing streak without stepping away from the board.
Their best hour is 04:00, a time when many players are flagging but elenakotrikadze is just warming up. For viewers on stream, that means late night chess with high energy and no surrender. Whether the position is winning or losing, the stream stays alive until the final move.
