Nakamura just shattered the Bullet Brawl calendar record with his fourth consecutive victory, claiming the most wins in a single year with a quarter of the season still remaining. This run caps off a dominant stretch where he's been nearly untouchable in blitz formats across Chess.com's fastest time controls.
The record itself feels inevitable given Nakamura's form. He's been the format's most consistent performer all year, and this latest streak underscores why he remains the platform's speed chess king. His ability to convert positions in bullet, where intuition matters as much as calculation, sets him apart from the field.
What's striking isn't just that he won four in a row. It's the margin of victory. Nakamura played with the kind of clinical precision you rarely see in bullet, where most games are decided by blunders or time scrambles rather than superior play. He minimized both.
The fact that he accomplished this in September leaves the door open for more records before year's end. Given his current trajectory, expect Nakamura to add to this total. He's playing at a level that suggests the record could be far more comfortable by December than it appears today.
