Martin Skretteberg (aka skrettyboy)
Meet Martin Skretteberg, a chess player who dances on the edge of blitz and bullet chaos with the finesse of a caffeinated squirrel. Although his bullet rating peaked around 1900 in 2022, Martin’s journey through the 64 squares has been nothing short of a rollercoaster — full of aggressive attacks, swift resignations, and battles fought at dazzling speeds.
With a Bullet win count almost equal to losses (7,873 wins to 7,856 losses) and an epic longest winning streak of 15 games, Martin plays like he’s always one move away from either a brilliant victory or a hilarious blunder. His blitz record is equally telling: 2,326 wins and 2,540 losses, proving he enjoys the thrill whether it’s a nail-biter or a tactical trainwreck.
Martin shines brightest when the ticking clock forces decisions faster than you can say "checkmate." Despite a modest average bullet win rate just shy of 50%, his psychological resilience is top tier — boasting a >93% win rate after losing a piece, and a commendable 83% comeback rate. Tilt factor? A manageable 30%, meaning Martin might grumble at the board, but rarely throws his queen in frustration.
He favors the gritty, late-game slugfests, spending an impressive average of roughly 66 moves per win, likening him to a marathon rather than a sprint. Still, he has a penchant for early resignations about 10% of the time, perhaps for strategic "saving face" or just because he’s got a hot date with his opening book.
Being equally comfortable with the white and black pieces, Martin's white win rate hovers near 50%, with a slightly humbler performance on the black side (about 47%). His top-secret openings have perplexed opponents in thousands of games — his true playbook is, well, classified.
Off the board, Martin's opponents range from “thebiggestboss420” (who hasn’t yet claimed a win) to “allta123” with a 50% battleground rivalry—evidencing the colorful mix of adversaries he regularly faces.
