A Fast Riser With a Faster Clock
Julmiri Muhammad Zulfaqar Abu Bakar, known across the online board as Julmiri, has spent over a decade proving that volume and velocity can go hand in hand. He arrived in late 2013 as a raw talent, and by 2026 his name belonged near the top of the site's leaderboards. His blitz peak 2827 (2026-06-28) and his bullet peak 2800 (2026-06-28) show the same trait: he gets stronger the faster the flag falls. His rapid peak 2501 (2026-01-22) and daily peak 2472 (2025-07-26) round out a remarkably complete online profile.
The Eternal Grinder
More than 31,000 rated games. A blitz ledger with over 13,000 wins. His preferred time control appears to be Bullet, the domain where instincts decide everything. Yet his true home is the grind: 743 games in a single month of October 2023, 1,044 in January 2024, and countless all-nighters in between.
- Longest winning streak: 29 games
- Longest losing streak: 14 games
- Comeback rate after falling behind: 89.5%
- Endgame frequency: 85.6%
- Average first capture: around move 7
An Opening Repertoire Built on Repetition
Julmiri is a creature of habit. As White he opens with 1.e4 in almost every game. As Black he lives inside the Caro-Kann Defense and the Sicilian Defense, lines he has played thousands of times. The Scandinavian Defense also appears often in his black repertoire, while White fans of the Alapin Variation know him well.
Rivals and Repeat Customers
No biography of Julmiri is complete without his recurring cast of rivals. Against araheart he achieved a perfect 126 wins without a single defeat. Against rdler96 he stayed unbeaten over 69 meetings. The always dangerous Rogelio Jr Antonio has had the better of their series, but Julmiri keeps coming back for more, and that is the mark of a true competitor.
The Mind of a Bullet Assassin
His psychological profile shows a player who saves his best for the evening, with peak performance around 21:00. He checks early and often: when he lands the first check he wins around 55% of the time, and the queen is by far his favorite checking piece. Add an 89.5% comeback rate and a low early resignation rate, and you get someone who believes the game is never over until the clock says otherwise.
Legacy
Julmiri Muhammad Zulfaqar Abu Bakar started below 1400 and finished the story near 2800. He did it one game at a time, one bullet match at a time, one impossible comeback at a time. Julmiri is proof that chess rewards stamina, courage, and a steady finger on the clock.
