Lubricate9: The Bullet Specialist Who Never Gives Up
Who Is Lubricate9?
Lubricate9 is a FIDE Master with a serious love for bullet chess.

The Rapid and Blitz samples are smaller, but both produced strong peaks, proving the speed chess talent is not a fluke.
A Bullet-Only Obsession
The preferred battlefield is clearly bullet. Thousands of games were played across 2023 and 2024, with a massive upward swing visible on the bullet chart:
. Lubricate9 collected more than 1,170 bullet wins and made opponents work for every point. The average decisive game lasted around 76 moves, which is unusually long for bullet and shows a stubborn refusal to fold early.Playing Style and Grit
Lubricate9 is a defensive nightmare. The comeback rate sits at 82.5 percent, meaning many lost positions still end in victory, and the best results come early in the morning, especially around 07:00. The repertoire leans heavily on 1.e4, with the Scotch Game, Caro-Kann Defense, and Scandinavian Defense showing up regularly. With Black, the Sicilian Defense family is the main battleground, including the Closed Sicilian and the Najdorf Variation. A visual breakdown of those results appears here:
