Micheladeimi: Lebanon's Bullet Blaze

Meet micheladeimi, a chess dynamo from Lebanon who has turned the fast-paced Bullet format into their personal playground. With a peak Bullet rating soaring to an impressive 2506 in November 2017, this player doesn't just play chess — they blitz through it like a whirlwind!

Though their Blitz and Rapid ratings peak slightly lower at 2361 and 1989 respectively, micheladeimi has conquered thousands of games across multiple time controls. Armed with a staggering over 9,000 wins in Bullet, their resilience shines through an incredible comeback rate of over 90% — even after losing a piece!

What's their secret weapon? Apart from raw speed, micheladeimi boasts a tactical style well-honed for chaotic positions, frequently employing openings like the Queen's Pawn Opening and the Indian Game with competitive win rates hovering near 50%. Notably, in Blitz chess, they're an aficionado of the Alekhine’s Defense Scandinavian Variation, winning a remarkable 77.78% of their games there.

Known for a high endurance (average moves per win hover around 75), micheladeimi's games are a battle of wits and stamina — with no premature resignations here, just fiery comebacks and solid endgames making opponents sweat.

Off the board, their psychological battlefield often finds the best play around dawn (6 AM is their prime time!), though they sometimes experience the infamous "tilt factor" at around 15%. But hey, nobody’s perfect — even chess stars need their coffee breaks.
