Since bursting onto the scene, Nar-Cheese has been on a relentless climb, with impressive peaks reaching a rapid rating of 2364 and a blistering bullet rating of 2551 at his best. Talk about melting defenses and slicing through opponent lines!
Specializing in rapid and bullet formats, Narek’s playing style reflects both patience and speed. His average game lasts around 79 moves for a win — so if you think bullet chess is all about instant moves, think again.

Nar-Cheese’s psychological resilience is noteworthy — his tilt factor hovers around 31, which means he might occasionally grumble when the queen gets forked, but largely keeps cool under pressure. He’s also known for epic comeback battles, nearly 90% of the time clawing back from the brink like a true chess cheese warrior.
With thousands of bullet games under his belt (over 3,000 in recent years!) and a longest winning streak of 22 games, Nar-Cheese’s consistency is as sharp as his namesake. His preferred openings remain a well-guarded secret, leaving opponents guessing and cheese fans drooling.
Off the board? Rumor has it Narek prefers his coffee strong and his opponents cheesed off. When asked about his chess philosophy, he quipped, “Chess is like cheese: the more you mature, the better you get — but watch out for the mold!” A delightful blend of skill, humor, and cheese puns, Narek Khachatryan is undoubtedly one to watch in the chess universe.
