Meet nimzoman13, Patron Saint of Bullet Chess
The username promises a devotee of Aron Nimzowitsch, the prophet of My System. The games promise something else entirely: a bullet chess grinder who has played more than 4,200 one-minute games, opens with 1.d4 almost without exception, and treats 1.e4 like a rare comet, spotting it only a handful of times across thousands of encounters.
Nimzoman13 is proof that volume is a strategy. This is not a player who dips a toe into bullet. This is a player who lives there, breathes premoves, and considers the increment clause in the terms and conditions a personal insult.
The Two-Month Rocket Ride
The bullet journey began in November 2025 around 1100. By mid-January 2026, nimzoman13 had peaked at 2236 (2026-01-13), a climb of over 1,100 points achieved largely by simply refusing to stop playing, including a December featuring 820 games and a January with nearly 1,600 more.
- Longest winning streak: 9 games
- Longest losing streak: 12 games, absorbed without any visible tilt
- Away from bullet: a flawless 4-0 record in Daily chess, and one rapid loss in the Vienna Hybrid, Hromádka Variation, which sounds less like an opening and more like a German engineering firm
The Repertoire: d4 With Feeling
White games revolve around the Amazon Attack, usually spiced with the Siberian Attack, plus a taste for the London System Poisoned Pawn Variation. The sharpest weapons, by win rate, are the Old Benoni and the Dutch Defense as white, both north of 58 percent.
With the black pieces, the Scandinavian Defense, the French Defense and its Exchange Variation, and regular jousting against the Amar Gambit do the heavy lifting. The cruel irony: the one opening actually connected to the username's patron saint, the Nimzo-Larsen Attack, is also the worst scorer in the whole arsenal.
Style: Bullet Marathons
Most bullet players want a 20-move knife fight. Nimzoman13 plays ~75-move wars, with games reaching an endgame nearly 80 percent of the time. The signature traits:
- An 82 percent comeback rate and a refusal to resign early, at just 5.4 percent
- 465 wins by checkmate and 35 stalemates, because even the draws are dramatic
- The queen as the most common checking piece, deployed like a door knocker
- 890 wins on time versus 1,157 losses on time, a flag-fall tally that would exhaust a track meet
Nemeses and the 5 PM Rule
Rivalry data tells its own story. rolandharris1 is the nemesis, taking 67 games and a decisive 36-22 head-to-head edge. wuddele provides a beautifully balanced 41-game blood feud at 19-17-5. Meanwhile, tobi134 exists mostly to be beaten, at 21-13-2.
The tactical manual for facing nimzoman13 is simple: play at 5 PM, when the win rate peaks at 54 percent, and never at 4 AM, when it collapses to 35 percent. Friday is the best day, Tuesday is a danger zone, and the system advises everyone else to simply bring a stopwatch and pray.
