Lakshmi C (Sunny_Star): Woman FIDE Master and Bullet Chess Force
Lakshmi C, known across the chess internet as Sunny_Star, is a Woman FIDE Master whose chess personality is best described as a friendly storm. While many titled players build their craft in quiet classical halls, Sunny_Star proved that the 1-minute battlefield can also produce a FIDE title, a 2613 bullet peak, and thousands of unforgettable online battles.
Early Spark
Her digital chess footprint goes back to 2008, when a single daily game planted the seed. In 2015 she dipped into bullet and blitz, showing early promise with a perfect 3-0 start in bullet. By 2017 she was comfortable in both bullet and blitz, falling in love with 1.e4 and learning the hard lessons that only time trouble can teach.
A Bullet Player's Heart
Lakshmi's preferred time control is clearly bullet. She has played marathon sessions with over 440 games in a single month, and in August 2026 she squeezed in 486 bullet games. That kind of volume, plus a peak of 2613 (2026-09-05), separates her from casual clickers. Her bullet ledger shows 909 wins, 895 losses, and 69 draws, which is the mathematical signature of a fearless, high-output fighter.
Openings with Sunshine
