Meet MMichael: The Blitz and Bullet Virtuoso

MMichael is a chess phenomenon who dances across the board with the agility of a knight on a caffeine rush. Starting back in 2010 with a modest Blitz rating of 1521 and Bullet at 1900, MMichael rapidly accelerated through the ranks, hitting an impressive Blitz peak of 2729 in 2020 and a Bullet high of 2810 in 2021. Not bad for someone who clearly doesn't like to take things slow!

Style of Play

Known for a hair-trigger early resignation rate (over 78%, yes, MMichael knows when to call it quits), they balance this with an average of about 20 moves to victory, proving they can grind out wins just as well as blitzing through opponents. With a White win rate just over 55% and a nearly identical Black win rate, MMichael dominates both sides of the board.

Tactical Prowess & Psychological Quirks

Comebacks? About a quarter of the time. Win after losing a piece? Slightly less than a third of battles. Tilt factor sits at 38, which probably means MMichael occasionally grumbles at the screen—because who doesn’t? Yet despite the slight dip when switching from rated to casual games (-13.5 win difference), MMichael keeps bouncing back with a fierce fighting spirit.

Record & Rivalries

With over 4800 Blitz wins and a staggering 7000+ Bullet victories, MMichael is no stranger to sweet triumphs. Their longest winning streak? A jaw-dropping 79 consecutive wins, with a current hot streak of 3. Opponents beware!

MMichael’s most frequent battlefield buddy is “larso” with 1715 confrontations, though the win rate there is a modest 42%. Other foes like “kaiski4” face a 100% defeat rate — a clear sign that MMichael keeps some rivalries spicy and others downright ruthless.

Secrets to Success

This player’s opening repertoire has been marked as “Top Secret” — probably for good reason. MMichael wins nearly 66% of Blitz games using these mysterious strategies, and an impressive 94% win rate in Rapid games, with a small but dominant sample size.

In a Nutshell

MMichael is a speed demon who excels in fast-paced chess games, loves a good streak, knows when to move on (or throw in the towel), and maintains psychological resilience in the chaos of online battles. If you find yourself facing MMichael, prepare for a battle of speed, wit, and occasional unpredictable moves — like a chess ninja caffeinated on rocket fuel.
