Mubassar Uddin: National Master and Bullet Connoisseur
Mubassar Uddin, known online as keepitcoming, is a National Master who treats the chess clock like a light suggestion. His preferred time control is Bullet, and with a peak Bullet rating of 2604 (2022-02-07), he has played thousands of games at speeds that make a hummingbird nervous. He also has a peak Blitz rating of 2649 (2020-10-20), so he can handle a few extra seconds when the position demands it.
Style and Opening Repertoire
Mubassar is a creature of habit with a surprisingly wide opening book. He defends with the Caro-Kann Defense, attacks with the Nimzo-Larsen Attack, and regularly steers the game into Queen's Gambit Declined structures. His stats also reveal a soft spot for the Amazon Attack, which sounds less like a chess opening and more like a superhero origin story.
He favors 1.d4 by a landslide and reaches the endgame in more than 82% of his games. His first capture usually arrives around move six, meaning he is happy to trade early and then outplay you when the pieces thin out. The bullet chart below captures his rating journey from 2020 to 2026.
Comebacks and Rivalries
Mubassar's comeback rate sits near 87%, so opponents who think they have beaten him should wait a few moves. His longest winning streak reached 25 games, and his longest losing streak stopped at 10, proof that he gives even his bad days a lunch break.
His busiest rivalry is with Luc2008. They have faced each other 431 times, with Mubassar collecting 276 wins. That is less a chess rivalry and more a long-running series with a clear binge-watching schedule.
The opening performance chart below is mostly a celebration of aggressive choices.
