With over 9,000 blitz games and thousands more in bullet, Shane has danced with the adrenaline rush of bullet chess, sometimes pushing 1700+ games in a single year. Though not always playing the crowd favorites, Shane’s steadfast commitment to blitz and bullet chess is nothing short of impressive.
His blitz career is a thrilling rollercoaster. In 2023, he peaked at a respectable 972 and then bravely slipped down before rallying for improved consistency in 2024 and 2025. The bullet arena tells a similar tale, highlighted by his 2025 maximum rating soaring to 878 with an average hovering comfortably above 670.
Shane isn’t just about raw speed; his playing style shows careful thought — an average of about 59 moves per game, whether winning or losing, suggests he’s not rushing blindly into glory or despair. Endgames are his playground, occurring in nearly 64% of his matches, proving he’s happy to duke it out to the bitter end. Plus, with a mental resilience aka "Comeback Rate" of a whopping 78.54%, plus a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece, Shane has proven to be a stubborn thorn in his opponents’ sides.
Psychologically, he’s a cool cucumber with a tilt factor of just 15, meaning Shane knows when to shrug off losses and keep charging. He enjoys almost equal success with both colors, medaling in victories around 48% of the time whether playing White or Black.
Off the board, Shane’s opponents list reads like a who's-who of internet challengers, with some facing him dozens of times. His most fertile turf? Blitz and bullet, where he dazzles with tactics so sneaky, you'll find yourself asking, "Did he resign already or is this part of the master plan?"
To sum up: ShaneBoutilier is a dynamic, persistent chess player who may not always clinch the highest ratings, but entertains, challenges, and bounces back like a true chess gladiator – with a healthy dose of mystery and flair.
