Meet nikhil5678, a gladiator of the 64 squares who dances between chaos and cunning with the flair of a blitz wildfire. Famed (or infamous) for a lightning-fast bullet peak rating of 982 back in July 2021, this player’s bullet games are hotter than a rook trapped on f7!

In the realm of blitz, nikhil5678 reached a peak rating of 749 in late 2020—a number that might make your queen quiver.

With a combined record of over 586 wins, nikhil5678 loves the battlefield, though the learning moments (losses totaling 688) and a handful of draws only add spice to the story.

The Van t Kruijs Opening and the Three Knights Opening also make appearances, proving that versatility is part of the charm.
