4 Time World 1 minute Champion - GM Roland Schmaltz

The KING of bullet chess. This German Grandmaster has won the world 1 minute championships for four years in a row now on the Internet Chess Club. Roland possesses a quick eye for tactics and excels at the faster time controls as can be seen by his results thus far. His openings are not so ferocious however, as he eschews most main lines in favor of his own personal systems. Usually this means no advantage with the white pieces against strong players, yet he will beat the lower rated players almost every time. He plays e4 always and for black plays always plays the Pirc or the Kings Indian Defense.
