mt104: The Bullet Marathon Runner
mt104 is a high volume, high drama online chess phenomenon. The account may list Blitz as a preferred time control, but the real love story is with bullet chess. Between 2019 and 2026, mt104 has played more than 14,000 rated bullet games and pushed the bullet rating from around 1500 to a peak of 2878 (2026-03-08). A smaller blitz sample is nearly perfect, with 19 wins from 23 games and a peak of 2502 (2026-01-08).
From 1500 to the 2800 Club
mt104's bullet path shows an almost tenacious climb. The rating history is a rollercoaster of massive monthly volumes, deep slumps, and quick recoveries, ending in the rarefied 2800s in early 2026.
What stands out is not just the peak, but the durability. With months containing hundreds of games and a longest losing streak of 23, mt104 treats every loss as the opening move of the next streak. The longest winning streak of 16 shows what happens when the pieces cooperate.
Style and Stamina
As White, mt104 almost always opens with 1.d4 and grinds out positions in the Colle and London families. As Black, the repertoire leans on the French Defense, with mountains of games in the Classical and Exchange lines, plus frequent adventures in the Scandinavian Defense and the Döry Defense. The opening chart shows a repertoire that is narrow enough to be practiced at massive scale.
That narrow repertoire produces long games: the average decisive contest lasts around 87 moves. mt104 also has a remarkable comeback rate of 87.15 percent, meaning many games are saved from apparently lost positions. If there is a flaw, it is the tendency to bleed rating after a bad result, but any tilt is followed by yet another wave of games.
Rivalries
No name appears next to mt104 more often than LadyCockroach. In 228 bullet meetings, ladycockroach has built a clear lead with 139 wins against mt104's 77 and 12 draws. The rivalry is a marathon that never seems to end. Then there is Hoang Minh Tho Do, mt104's ultimate nemesis: 95 games, 94 losses, one draw and zero wins. Against everyone else, mt104 is a brave competitor; against mw86, the result is almost written before the clock starts.
Other frequent opponents include physiotherapist, icecreamiscream, javicio and kolver, proving that mt104 thrives in a dense community of bullet regulars.
