Orash Shonazarov: A Bullet-First FIDE Master
Orash Shonazarov, better known online as Orassahh, is a FIDE Master who treats bullet chess like a sprint and a puzzle at the same time. He has played hundreds of fast games, and his bullet rating has peaked at 2942 (2026-09-03), while his blitz has reached 2983 (2026-08-21). He is the kind of player who is just as comfortable in a chaotic timeout scramble as in a sharp theoretical battle.
An Offbeat Repertoire
Shonazarov's opening choices are as lively as his clock management. As White he will happily play the Amar Gambit, the quirky 1.Nh3 line that has produced 11 wins from 16 blitz games. As Black he leans on the Caro-Kann Defense, the Czech Defense, and the Amazon Attack: Siberian Attack, all while keeping opponents guessing. His win rate by opening shows clear spikes in the sharpest lines.
Rivalries and Grind
Regular followers of Orassahh know the recurring names in his game list. He has faced imgabi112 ten times, while his nine game series with Muhammad Khusenkhojaev has been a tense, draw-heavy duel.
Never Count Him Out
The numbers behind the name are wonderfully strange. He has a longest winning streak of 24 games, a comeback rate of 86.46 percent, and a win rate over 52 percent even after losing a piece. In August 2026 he played 191 bullet games in a single month, winning 110 of them. Shonazarov may be unpredictable, but he is never boring, and that makes him one of the most entertaining titled players in the fast lane.
