Grayson Rorrer: The Bulletproof International Master
A Speed Chess Prodigy
Grayson Rorrer, known online as Grandmaster2B, is a FIDE International Master who has made bullet chess his personal laboratory. He started in late 2016 with modest ratings, but his rise was anything but ordinary. Within a year his bullet rating had nearly doubled, and by 2026 he reached a peak bullet rating of 3144 (2026-08-24). His preferred time control is bullet, and the numbers back it up.
Bullet Dominance
Grayson has played more than 12,000 rated bullet games and won the vast majority of them. His Amar Gambit is a personal trademark, bringing close to 77 percent wins in over 3,600 games. His French Defense is just as dangerous, with an 80.54 percent success rate as Black. When the clock is low and the position is messy, Grayson is at his best.
He once strung together 59 consecutive wins, and his comeback rate of 78.21 percent means matches are never truly over. Even after losing a piece, he still wins more than 61 percent of the time. Opponents who celebrate too early often end up on the wrong side of a highlight reel.
Opening Repertoire
Grayson does not hide from sharp theory or unusual lines. He frequently steers the game into the Sicilian Defense, exploring branches like the Najdorf and Taimanov variations with confidence. His daily chess results include perfect scores against the Elephant Gambit and a near flawless record with the Barnes Defense, proof that he is comfortable in both mainstream and offbeat territory.

- French Defense: an 80.54 percent success rate as Black
- Sicilian Defense: a broad repertoire including Najdorf and Taimanov lines
Rivalries and Notable Opponents
No player has crossed paths with Grayson more often than Kevin Fong, a rivalry that spans 466 games. Grayson holds a commanding 421 wins in that series, showing just how well he knows this frequent foe. His battles with Zurab Javakhadze are a different story, as he trails 36 wins to 67 losses. These long running online feuds have kept his instincts sharp and his opening prep honest.
Playing Style and Psychology
Grayson is not just a speed demon. His tactical awareness is elite, and he rarely tilts. His best time of day is 9:00 AM, when his win rate reaches a perfect 100 percent in the sample data. He reaches endgames in about 60 percent of his games and almost never resigns early. Against lower rated players he wins roughly 75.84 percent of the time, and his low tilt factor of 14 allows him to stay calm even after a tough loss. For anyone sitting across from him, that calm confidence is the scariest weapon of all.
