Career Highlights & Playing Style
O’s chess journey is like a rollercoaster of epic battles: a peak bullet rating of 2517 in July 2011 and a blitz peak of 2211 only a month earlier. With a whopping 72.6% bullet win rate playing the elusive "Top Secret" opening, o’s opponents can’t help but wonder what’s happening until it's checkmate—and often, by move 30 (or less).
Known for a low early resignation rate (under 1%), o usually fights til the board cracks.

When the clock ticks down, o shines brightest, especially in bullet where fast decisions matter most. They hold an extraordinary record of 237 wins by timeout, proving that sometimes just managing time beats managing tactics. With a longest winning streak of 18 games, o knows how to build momentum and ride it — until the inevitable loss (the longest streak was 10, because hey, even grandmasters have off days).
