In the vast and sometimes bewildering world of online chess, 404DoestNotExist is the player who shows up just when you’re about to give up on your next move—and just might surprise you. Known for their enigmatic username, which humorously alludes to digital dead ends, this blitz enthusiast has carved out a niche with a respectable rating of 964 in 2025.
Playing mostly blitz games (173 in total), 404DoestNotExist keeps opponents on their toes with a nearly even split of wins and losses (84 wins, 82 losses, and 7 draws). Their favorite opening? Simply labeled as “Top Secret,” because who knows what strategy lurks behind that curtain? Whatever it is, it’s worked well enough to maintain a steady performance with a win rate of 48.55%.
This player’s style is a curious blend of patience and resilience. With an average game lasting around 60 moves for wins and about 55 for losses, 404DoestNotExist certainly enjoys the endgame, appearing in it more than half the time (55.5%). Their knack for comebacks is impressive, boasting a 78.57% comeback rate and an unbeatable 100% win rate after losing a piece—talk about making lemonade when life gives you chess lemons!
Though their tilt factor is a modest 6, 404DoestNotExist seems to keep cool better than most, rarely resigning early (2.44%) and demonstrating serious fighting spirit. Their darkest hour—losing pieces—has never led to defeat, proving this player’s tactical awareness requires serious respect.
Curiously, their performance fluctuates dramatically by time of day, playing near flawless at 7 PM (100% win rate) but struggling in the wee hours. Weekend games, especially Saturdays, seem to be their prime time, winning over 60% of games. Their opponents range from some with names suggesting grandmaster aspirations to casual challengers, with mixed fortunes. Notably, they have a perfect record against “magnusxchris” and many others, but a tough time with certain rivals like “caggity3.”
In short, 404DoestNotExist is the digital chess player who might just “not exist” in your win column—unless you’re lucky. Or unlucky, depending on which side you sit. Either way, expect steady battles, surprises, and a player who refuses to be checked out early.
