Mygoodbrother: The Good Brother of Bullet Chess
Some players study openings. Some players study endgames. Mygoodbrother studied the clock, then befriended it. Since arriving on the online chess scene in March 2022 with a debut month best described as "educational", he has played nearly 27,000 games, about two-thirds of them bullet, and turned a rough 1254-rated first impression into a peak of 2339 (2026-02-28) in early 2026. In a plot twist worthy of the family group chat, his all-time high actually came in blitz at 2558 (2026-01-17), and he recently pushed rapid to 2263 (2026-03-01) as well. A bullet specialist whose best number came from a slower format: chess, like family, refuses to make sense.
Opening Repertoire: Conviction Over Theory
The repertoire is a love letter to the underappreciated. The flagship is the Australian Defense, which he has played in more than 2,000 bullet games at a 55 percent score, including 1,369 games with the white pieces. For the uninitiated, it goes like this:
Then come the ambushes and workhorses:
- French Defense: 952 bullet games at 57.9 percent, the most dependable bodyguard in the arsenal
- Amar Gambit: 1,155 bullet games as a statement that theory is optional
- Slav Defense: 647 games at 58 percent, mostly with White
- Queen's Gambit Accepted lines (3.e3 c5): 404 games at nearly 60 percent with White
- Blackburne Shilling Gambit: the rapid assassin, scoring over 60 percent
- A Poisoned Pawn London System, which the records file as "redacted", exactly how a Poisoned Pawn London should be filed
Rivals, Nemesis Included
Every good brother has siblings, chosen or otherwise. The scoreboard against varunvishweshwar reads a flawless 21-0, the kind of perfection that either builds a friendship or ends one. Against RAHULWIN, however, the universe flips: 5 wins, 13 losses and 3 draws, making him the certified kryptonite of an otherwise heroic record. The most frequent sparring partner is abcde_carlsen, whose username makes bold claims and whose 41 meetings with Mygoodbrother (23-17-1) constitute a genuine rivalry. Meanwhile leandroac46 leads their series 17-12 and presumably enjoys mentioning it.
Playing Style: Never Resign, Always Flag
- Early resignation rate: 1.47 percent. He does not resign, he negotiates.
- Comeback rate: 84.3 percent, and he still wins more than half of the games where he drops a piece.
- Endgames appear in 80.5 percent of his games, and the average bullet win runs about 75 moves. That is not a bullet game, that is a marathon in sneakers.
- 5,794 wins on time versus 3,921 by checkmate. The flag is not a flaw, it is a skill.
- The queen has delivered 24,461 checks, his most trusted attacker. The king has chipped in 111 checks of his own, presumably in disguise.
- Longest winning streak: 30 games, which was also the correct answer to a 10-game losing streak.
Clock Science: The 4 AM Sweet Spot
Body clock matters. His best hour is 4 AM, where the win rate climbs to 59 percent; his worst is 2 AM at 39 percent. Two hours separate genius from a snack break. Wednesdays are the most reliable weekday, the first capture lands around move 6, and casual games somehow suit him about 20 points better than rated ones, a stat he is not proud of but will not deny. The tilt factor sits at a glacial 10 out of 100: ice in the veins, warmth in the heart.
And then there is the daily chess career: one game, one win, played with the Barnes Defense in December 2022, final rating 1659, a lifetime record of 1-0-0. Retired undefeated at the top. Nobody else in the family can say that, and he will absolutely keep bringing it up at dinners.
Career Arc and Legacy
From 1254 to the 2300s, from a rocky first week to a 30-game heater, this graph is what "grind" looks like when you zoom all the way out. The moral of the profile is simple: open with something weird, check with the queen, never resign, and be the good brother the board deserves.
