The Twelfth Anagnostopoulos
NotisAnagnostopoulos_12 is a bullet chess specialist whose username raises more questions than it answers. Is he the twelfth Notis Anagnostopoulos in a proud line of tacticians, or did he simply need twelve attempts to remember his own password? He has never confirmed either theory, and honestly it is better this way. What is confirmed is this: hand him a clock with three minutes or fewer and he becomes a problem you did not sign up for.
Bullet Chess: Where He Lives
Blitz is a hobby. Bullet is a lifestyle. Notis has stacked up hundreds of bullet chess games and pushed his peak rating to 2821 (2026-10-04), grinding upward month after month through 2026.
His finishing move is not always checkmate. He has won 241 games on time, meaning a huge share of his victories come from simply letting the opponent's clock die of natural causes. Add a 90.98% comeback rate and an early resignation rate of exactly zero, and the lesson is clear: never celebrate against this man. He will make you eat the confetti.
The Repertoire: French With Feeling
Notis opens with 1.e4 the vast majority of the time, then marches happily into the French Defense, where his score in the Advance Variation in blitz borders on the absurd at 84.62% as Black. As White, he keeps a toolbox of pure chaos: the Blackburne Shilling Gambit, a trap so notorious it should require a license, plus excellent results when opponents wander into the Scandinavian Defense. His favorite checking piece is the queen, deployed 1,491 times and counting. Subtlety is for people with more clock.
Nemeses and Victims
No bullet career is complete without a rival, and Grigoris Giannoulis has embraced the role across 49 games, with Notis clinging to a narrow 26-21-2 edge. Their latest chapter is preserved for history: Watch the Latest Duel. attacking_king123 has been bullied to a 10-3-1 tally, while Alan Peart remains the scoreboard that keeps Notis humble at 2-6-1. Every hero needs kryptonite, apparently.
