Chess.com Record Holders
Highest Ratings
Alot of people might think @Hikaru would win this with his all time highest bullet rating of 3570, but he only comes in second because there is actually a player who has achieved a higher rating.
@ChessNetwork
The award for highest ever rating on chess.com goes to NM @Chessnetwork. On December 3 2009, Chessnetwork had a bullet rating of 4200! The reason for his insane rating is because there used to be a period on chess.com where it was impossible to gain/lose 0 points after a game. You would always gain a minimum of 1 point after a win. So regardless of how weak his opponents were @Chessnetwork was still able to gain rating by beating them, hence his 4200 peak.
