1000 in Bullet FINALLY

I played my first bullet game on April 9, 2023, and I lost it. Funny enough, my second opponent’s account was later closed for fair play violations. The same thing happened with my sixth opponent as well. It was an odd introduction to bullet, chaotic right from the start, and probably a fitting preview of what the format would become for me.

Since then, I’ve played 9,520 games. I’ve won 4,789 of them, lost 4,637, and drawn 94. Those numbers represent thousands of short, intense battles. Some were clean and satisfying. Many were sloppy. Plenty were frustrating. Bullet has a way of exposing impatience, nerves, and bad habits faster than any other time control.

On December 15, 2025, I finally crossed the 1000 rating mark in bullet. It took far longer than I expected, but getting there mattered more because of that. With that milestone, I completed a goal I set for myself early on: reaching 1000 in bullet, blitz, and rapid. From February 26, 2023, to December 15, 2025, it was a long, uneven climb filled with plateaus, regressions, and small breakthroughs that only made sense in hindsight.

 And I’m genuinely happy that I finally did.
