Profile: BlankFace04
Title: FIDE Master
Meet BlankFace04, the enigmatic chess warrior who’s been quietly climbing the ranks with a blend of solid technique and tactical genius—plus a sprinkle of mystery. As a FIDE Master, BlankFace04 commands respect on the 64 squares, effortlessly juggling blitz and bullet games like a caffeinated octopus.
Playing Style & Strengths
BlankFace04’s style is a finely tuned balance of patience and precision. Their average game length is definitely not the bullet kind of snap decisions; with over 75 moves per win on average, they clearly enjoy a good strategic grind. Their resilience shines through an impressive 86.8% comeback rate, showing that losing a piece doesn’t faze them—it just makes the win sweeter.
Endgames are a common battleground with an 82.2% endgame frequency, signaling a knack for squeezing victories out of the late phases when others might call it quits. And if there is a silver lining to possible tilt, they’ve kept a low tilt factor of 9, meaning emotional outbursts are few and far between.
Rating & Records
Starting from a blitz rating of around 2209 in early 2022, BlankFace04 has impressively soared to a peak blitz rating of 2548 in August 2024, while their bullet rating touched a stellar 2534 earlier that same year. More impressively, in April 2025, they reached a recent blitz rating of 2504, proving they’re not a flash in the pan.
Win rates are respectable across formats and opponents — boasting a nearly 48% win rate in blitz and over 52% in bullet with their preferred "Top Secret" openings. Opponents like Rauchbach and Dragzor have been tested multiple times, with BlankFace04 holding an 80% win rate against Dragzor and a respectable 64% versus Rauchbach.
Anecdotes & Fun Facts
Known for playing strongest between 9 AM and 10 AM (and again around 6-7 PM), their brain seems to tick best in the morning coffee hour and evening relax mode. The longest win streak they’ve pulled off is a clean 10 consecutive wins, but they’ve also experienced some tough spells like a 9-game losing streak. That’s chess: a rollercoaster where even the best sometimes scream "Oops!" silently.
When asked about their favorite way to win? They tend to coax opponents into resignation—both a sign of respect and a testament to their position-squeezing prowess—with 634 wins by resignation in blitz alone. Timeouts are not left out either, with over 300 wins credited from opponents running out of time.
Latest Triumph

In Conclusion
