James Bond - The Chess Maestro

Also known as LiveAndLetDie on the digital chess battlefield, James Bond is a player whose mysterious style and sharp tactics make him an elusive opponent. With a Bullet rating peaking at an impressive 2506 in 2024, Bond moves faster than you can say "Check!" — quite fitting for a secret agent, wouldn’t you say?

Since he first entered the chess scene in 2011, Bond has played over 80,000 Bullet games with a win rate slightly over 50%, showing not only endurance but also lethal precision under fire. His Blitz and Rapid ratings hover around the 2300 and 2000 marks respectively, making him a formidable threat across time controls.

Playing Style & Personality

Known for an Early Resignation Rate as low as 1.02%, Bond never surrenders without a fight – after all, "shaken, not stirred" applies just as well to his chess games. His endgames stretch deep, averaging over 83 moves per win, proving his perseverance when the clock is ticking and the pressure mounts.

With a near-perfect Comeback Rate of 93.7% and a striking 100% Win Rate After Losing a Piece, Bond is the type to shake off any setbacks — because even if you capture his pawn, this agent always has a trick up his sleeve.

Known For

  • Top-secret openings in Bullet games that have led to a win rate over 51%
  • Consistent performance along the week, making opponents nervous even on Saturdays and Tuesdays
  • A current winning streak of 3 games and a longest winning streak of 23 games: Quite the 007 touchdown!

Notable Opponents & Friendlies

Fun Fact

When not dismantling defenses online, James Bond likes to remind his opponents: "The name's Bond, James Bond... and your king's about to be under my license to kill."

In the world of chess, Bond's presence is as smooth and lethal as his cinematic counterpart’s — a true legend in the making!
