Re: Does anyone here play chess?

I'm an avid chess player who analyses openings within a short amount of time. I started in primary school, year 5 where I was introduced by a few people. I began as a hopeless novice player who falls for the simplest traps and had no idea how to have a decent opening. I took a break until Year 9, when I played a few games. Now in year 11, I started playing consistently at school, beating most people and started a Chess.com account. I found out I'm more proficient at playing fast, aggressive games and that became my mentality.
As per my Chess.com introduction,

Aggressive chess player. Speed is my specialty. You better watch out when I play bullet and blitz: I'll dish out attack after attack and you'll have to keep responding until you blunder. Speed is my dependency in the intimidation of my opponent.
I have pretty good ratings in Chess.com. Not good or professional, just above average.

Bullet: ~974-1010
Blitz: 1005
Standard: 1581

Cohort stength was weak, your elo aligned would be fairly bad. It wouldn't scale well. #demHSCmechanics

Any sort of rating on lichess? How long are games?

I play 1/2/3 minute games mostly. Speed is my mentality. 5 Minute lightning games give the opponent too long to think.

My games range from 10 minutes to well over 40 minutes, depending on the time the opponent takes and the opponents skill.

I have no rating on any website.
