yoni
The Bullet Marathoner
Meet yoni, a chess player whose true home is the bullet queue. If the clock has a decimal point, yoni is there, often playing hundreds of games in a single month. Starting the tracked period near 1782, yoni climbed through wild swings all the way to a blistering 2781 (2026-09-18) peak. The ride was anything but smooth: huge winning streaks, brutal losing runs, and an endless appetite for more games.
yoni's bullet form across 2025 and 2026 tells the story of a player who simply never goes home:
Numbers Behind the Madness
This is not a player who waits for the perfect moment. yoni plays, rematches, and plays again. Over this period, yoni racked up more than 10,000 bullet games, plus hundreds of blitz and rapid games. The scoreboard may show a near 50 percent career rate, but the entertainment value is priceless.
- White win rate: 45.5 percent, Black win rate: 40.26 percent, so bring the first move.
- Average decisive games run around 82 to 87 moves, with draws stretching past 115 moves. In bullet, that is a lifetime.
- When yoni delivers the first check, the win rate jumps to about 52.7 percent. Let yoni check first at your own risk.
- The longest winning streak was 40 games, and the longest losing streak was 21. Both extremes require serious commitment.
Opening Repertoire: 1.d4 and Friends
As White, yoni is an absolute 1.d4 loyalist. The database shows thousands of games starting with d4, often flowing into the London System or the Colle System. These setups appear hundreds of times in the bullet archives and give yoni familiar structures even at internet speed.
As Black, yoni is happy to meet 1.e4 with the Scandinavian Defense, a line played over a thousand times. The results are about as chaotic as the opening itself. A typical London-style structure yoni reaches looks like this:
Rivalries and Nemeses
Every bullet grinder needs rivals. Against LionQueen777, yoni built one of the most one-sided rivalries imaginable: 100 wins and just 1 loss in 101 games. That is less a rivalry and more a toll booth.
The same cannot be said against watnegs. In 83 meetings, watnegs scored 64 wins against yoni, with only 11 losses in return. Every player needs an arch-nemesis, and watnegs fills that role beautifully.
Streaks, Comebacks, and Tilt
yoni has a comeback rate near 86 percent and still wins about 41 percent of games after losing material. That is stubbornness in the best possible way. The tilt factor sits at 21, which is high enough to be dangerous but not so high that yoni stops grinding. The best hour to face yoni is probably the wrong question. The real question is whether yoni ever sleeps.
