Tigran Soghomonyan: The Fixer of Minds

Tigran Soghomonyan, known on the board as fixer-mind, is a FIDE Candidate Master whose username suggests he repairs broken positions for a living. Judging by his games, he spends most of his time breaking perfectly good ones instead, then fixing them at bullet speed.

While many titled players gravitate toward long, contemplative time controls, Tigran has gone the opposite direction and fallen headfirst into bullet chess, where the pieces move faster than the thoughts behind them. His bullet rating has climbed from humble beginnings into the stratosphere, peaking at an eye-watering 2751. That is not a typo. That is a man who has made peace with pre-moves and chaos.
