From Chaos to 3,000
Om's bullet story starts in late 2020 with a rating just above 2,290. From there, he went through a relentless schedule of games, wild swings, and increasingly sharp instincts. The chart below shows the full arc, including the famous explosion into the 3,000 range.
Opening Philosophy
Om is not a one-note opening player. On the black side, the Caro-Kann Defense serves as his favorite shield, appearing in hundreds of bullet and blitz games. With white, he has shifted from an early 1.e4 phase into a flirting relationship with 1.Nf3 and the King's Indian Attack. The English Opening also pops up, especially the Agincourt Defense, where his bullet win rate climbs to 55 percent.
Rivalries and Rumbles
The player who has seen the most of Om's bullet mayhem is Aakash Sharadchandra Dalvi, with 238 meetings between them. The head-to-head score favors aakash-dalvi7, but Om has still grabbed 62 wins from those battles. Against r1sh1kadam, Om enjoys a far friendlier scoreboard, taking 34 wins in 42 meetings.
Fighting Spirit
Om's numbers are full of contradictions and resilience. His 85.08 percent comeback rate means he rarely accepts defeat, and even after dropping a piece he still wins 44.23 percent of the time. He drags games into the endgame 83.34 percent of the time, and his decisive battles often run past 80 moves. His early resignation rate? Just 1.07 percent.
The stubborn streak has a dark twin, a 31-game losing streak, yet the same stubbornness powers a 23-game winning streak. Om peaks around 5 p.m., keeps a low tilt factor, and refuses to quietly fade out of any game.
