Mitch Fishbein (Everyfishknows)
Meet Mitch Fishbein, a National Master who dances with chess pieces better than a squirrel at a nut festival. With the prestigious title of National Master under their belt, Mitch has proven they know how to outwit opponents while still keeping it entertaining on the board.
Starting from humble beginnings in 2014 with bullet ratings around 1100, Mitch swiftly climbed the ranks to reach a blistering peak bullet rating of 2519 in late 2021. Their blitz prowess is even more impressive, achieving a peak rating of 2646 in April 2023 — making them about as fast and sharp as a caffeinated rook.
Mitch’s style? Well, it’s a mix of resilience and strategy with a dash of unpredictability. Their games tend to be long affairs, averaging over 80 moves per win — a testament to their love for the endgame grind. And grind they do, with nearly 80% of their games reaching the endgame phase.

Their psychological resilience is notable, showing a Tilt Factor of just 14, which means Mitch seldom lets losses get them down. They perform best around 10 AM, proving that breakfast is indeed the most important meal for peak chess performance.
