Nigel Fat GM

NigelFat - The Grandmaster of the Bullet Storm

NigelFat, a Grandmaster officially crowned by FIDE, is a force to be reckoned with on the chessboard, especially in the lightning-quick world of bullet and blitz chess. With a peak blitz rating soaring to an extraordinary 3035 in May 2025 and a bullet peak rating just shy of 2860 in November 2024, NigelFat’s rapid-fire decision-making skills are nothing short of legendary.

Starting from humble beginnings with a bullet rating jump from 533 to nearly 2800 within months, NigelFat’s rise is reminiscent of a bishop sneaking through enemy lines—strategic and a little bit sneaky. His average bullet rating is a solid 2115 initially, but as if fueled by caffeine and sheer determination, he rocketed past 2800 consistently, racking up wins faster than you can say “checkmate.”

Blitz is where NigelFat truly shines, clocking in a monstrous 2976 average rating for early 2025 and smashing the 3000-rating ceiling with a peak of 3035. Over 210 blitz games, his win rate hovers around a respectable 65%. While his losses often sneak in like a sneaky pawn, his comeback rate of over 81% proves that even after taking a hit, NigelFat won’t go down without a fight—nor a crafty fork or pin.

His opening repertoire remains "top secret" (seriously, he’s the James Bond of openings), but with over 220 bullet games under this mysterious tag boasting more than 70% win rate, one can only imagine the tricks up his sleeve. Occasionally, NigelFat dabbles in Queens Indian Defense, Slav Defense, and Caro Kann variations with perfect records, showing his versatility and deep knowledge of classic theory.

Known for his long winning streaks (a whopping 43 consecutive victories!) and minimal losing stretches (never more than 4 games in a row), NigelFat’s emotional resilience is top-notch. With a tilt factor of only 4, you’ll rarely catch this grandmaster throwing his queen across the room—even if the clock is bleeding down in bullet time controls.

A strategic master at endgames, NigelFat plays an average of nearly 79 moves per win, proving he loves the long haul and lingers in the trenches till victory is secured. Whether wielding White or Black pieces, his win rates of 73.6% and 63.7% respectively show he’s comfortable fighting from any side.

Fun fact: his best time to play is at two in the morning—clearly when the rest of us are dreaming, NigelFat is dreaming three moves ahead and checkmating opponents before breakfast.
