Hi I'm a casual chess player

These days I play mostly bullet online, too brainrotted for online slow chess
I play longer games otb through the ecf in league, congress and club games
I enjoy playing variants such as duck chess, spell chess, the obscure "villagers chess" and often otb bughouse
Below is my game against GM Nigel Short which was otb in a simul, so far this is my only otb game against a master player (I have a few online) and I am proud of it despite the loss.

I have come to the conclusion that chess.com bullet is very dependent on internet, whilst Lichess is stable.
On Lichess I am consistently 2100, on chess.com I am 1900 with good internet and 1700 with bad.

As of April 18th 2026 I am pleased to say I beat my first titled player which is a long term goal that I am very pleased to have achieved. It was a low time swindle in a 5+0 game against a young CM, which is not how I expected to beat my first titled player. I expected a bullet win against an aging player but I will not complain because I think beating a young player is more impressive.
