Roman Garifullin: The FIDE Master with a Blitzing Heart
Roman Garifullin, proudly wearing the title of FIDE Master, is a master of speed chess who dances through the Blitz and Bullet arenas like a knight on a caffeine high. With a peak Blitz rating soaring to an impressive 2565 and a Bullet max rating creeping past 2300, Roman’s prowess on the board is no secret to anyone brave enough to face him.
Since 2017, Roman has played thousands of games, boasting over 4800 Blitz wins and nearly 70 Bullet victories, all with a win rate that keeps opponents both respecting and trembling. Known for an aggressive style that blends tactical fireworks with a keen endgame intuition, Roman’s games tend to last around 65 moves per win—proof that he is happy to brawl as much as he is to blitz.
Roman’s psychological game is as formidable as his tactical arsenal: a remarkable 96.63% win rate after losing a piece suggests that giving up material is just another opening move in his comeback story. Not one to dwell on setbacks (his tilt factor sits comfortably low at 10), he wields resilience like a grandmaster-grade sword.
Though Roman’s current winning streak is at zero, his longest victorious run stretches an awe-inspiring 37 consecutive wins—setting the bar high and the bar patrons even higher. At heart, Roman is a strategist who respects the long game, leaning into endgames nearly 68% of the time, proving that speed is just a part of his multiverse of chess mastery.
When not storming the chessboard with blazing speed and accuracy, Roman can be found outsmarting his toughest opponents repeatedly—having faced some over 30 times and maintaining win rates pushing 60%. Whether it’s methodical maneuvering or spontaneous blitzkrieg, Roman Garifullin remains a force to behold, a player who melds precision, speed, and a strategic mind until checkmate is the only possible outcome.
Chess may be a game of kings, but Roman plays with the heart of a warrior and the speed of a lightning bolt.
