In blitz, Wallace strutted from a humble 183 rating in 2022 up to a sleek 1174 by 2025, proving that fast decisions and faster moves are his forte. Rapid and daily chess are occasionally absent from Wallace's story, but when he does play, his skills shine bright.

His blitz record is peppered with over 550 wins and a respectable tally of draws and losses, while his rapid games reveal a willingness to test his mettle under various pressures.
