From Fry Cook to Fighter

Along the way came a 22 game winning streak, a peak bullet rating of 2655 (2026-01-18), and a blitz peak of 2692 (2026-02-25).

As Black, the menu is spicier. The Blackburne Shilling Gambit appears hundreds of times, and the Ruy Lopez Brix Variation is another frequent guest. The Scotch Game also shows up often, with a near 50% score in bullet.
