Villarreal Agustin (agustinv04) - FIDE Master Extraordinaire
Meet Villarreal Agustin, better known in the chess world as agustinv04, a brainiac who proudly sports the title of FIDE Master. While some may dream of checkmating their opponents in three moves, Agustin’s style is a masterclass in perseverance, tactical awareness, and a flair for the unexpected – all sprinkled with a pinch of chessboard drama.
Starting from modest beginnings with blitz ratings around 2200 in 2022, Agustin catapulted himself to impressive territory, hitting a peak blitz rating of 2743 by early 2025. His bullet rating dances around the thrilling 2700+ mark, peaking at an electrifying 2786. Not one to shy away from rapid formats either, his solid 2031 rating there proves he’s a force in every time control – slow-cooking strategy or fast-fire brilliance, Agustin handles it all.
With over 1500 wins in bullet and an impressive comeback rate nearing 86%, Agustin proves time and again that losing a piece is just a minor hiccup. His games average over 80 moves for wins, showing that his patience in the endgame is nothing short of saintly — no rush, just calculated precision until the final checkmate dance.
Agustin’s opening secrets remain his most guarded asset — suitably named "Top Secret" — boasting winning rates above 50% across bullet and blitz, which clearly intimidates opponents from move one. Known as a tough cookie to crack, his longest winning streak stands at an epic 29 games, while even a frustrating losing streak of 22 games hasn’t dulled his spirit.
What else? He prefers late hours, playing best around the 9AM hour (talk about morning motivation!), but also sports a formidable win rate just before midnight. His opponents barely get a breather, especially on Thursdays and Saturdays when Agustin seems to channel extra chess mojo.
Memorable Battles
Recent victories often end with victims resigning in despair, such as a brilliant April 2025 game showcasing impeccable play in a Benoni Defense battle. And when Agustin wins, it’s not just luck – it's a calculated symphony of moves culminating in elegant checkmates and strategic mastery. Even his losses come with thrilling fights against top competitors like GM Forgacs and Daniel Naroditsky, proving he treads the battlegrounds of grandmasters themselves.
Beyond the stats and titles, Villarreal Agustin is the kind of player you want in your corner or across the board – sharp-witted, relentlessly combative, and with a playful spark that reminds everyone chess isn’t just a game, it’s a grand adventure.

Recent Game Feedback
Your recent bullet wins demonstrate strong positional understanding and endgame technique. For example, in your victory against yoni, you effectively transitioned to a winning passed pawn and capitalized on your opponent's time pressure to convert the game. In multiple wins, your usage of the King's Indian Attack setup has provided you with solid middlegame play and attacking chances.
In your recent losses, common themes include time scrambles and tactical oversight, often against aggressive and prepared opponents. In particular, watch for tactical vulnerabilities in open positions and ensure you keep track of your king safety when under pressure. Some losses ended by checkmate or quick tactical strikes, which indicates a need to remain vigilant for opponent threats especially in the middlegame.
Opening Play Insights
- Your primary openings often utilize 1. Nf3 and King's Indian Attack structures, a good choice for bullet where familiarity aids speed.
- Consider deepening your knowledge of key pawn breaks and typical tactics in the King's Indian Attack against common black responses, to avoid early positional concessions.
