Om Hari Yadav (chess04fun) — The Blitz-Loving Streamer
Om Hari Yadav, known online as chess04fun, is a lively chess streamer and competitive player who prefers the crackling tempo of Blitz. On stream he balances sharp tactics with a relaxed commentary style — part coach, part comedian, part person who will loudly celebrate a one-move fork like it’s a World Championship win.
Playing Style & Personality
Om Hari’s games tend to be long on drama: he reaches endgames often and plays them deep (Endgame Frequency ~59.5%). He enjoys tactical skirmishes and tricky opening traps, but he’s also happy to sit for 50–70 moves if the position demands it. Viewers know three things about his streams: a) he loves Blitz, b) he tilts spectacularly (Tilt Factor: 128), and c) he will always make popcorn during marathon endgames.
- Preferred time control: Blitz — fast, furious, and entertaining.
- Avg moves per win/loss: ~60 — expect long, decisive battles.
- Early resignation rate: low (~4.03%) — Om fights on until the last piece is funny-looking.
- Comeback chops: solid — Win rate after losing a piece is about 56.4%.
Openings & Signature Tricks
Om is fond of surprise weapons and offbeat lines. One of his proudest accomplishments is turning dusty traps into viewer entertainment. On Twitch/YouTube he routinely teaches and abuses cheeky openings, then explains them with a wink.
- Favorite trap: Blackburne Shilling Gambit — a cheeky classic he uses to spice up Blitz streams.
- Other strong lines: Caro-Kann, Italian Two Knights (Fegatello), Scandinavian — comfortable both as owner and as saboteur.
- Stats highlight: a particularly strong record with the Two Knights Fegatello in Blitz, where he converts many sharp games into wins.
Memorable Runs, Streaks & Opponents
Om’s roller-coaster history is streamer gold: long winning streaks, a famously long cold spell, and rivalries that keep chat lively.
- Longest winning streak: 28 games — cue slow clap emotes.
- Longest losing streak: 128 games — the kind of slump that spawned a “comeback montage” on stream.
- Current streak: 4 wins — riding a little hot right now.
- Most-played rival: chessgoat686 — hundreds of games and plenty of highlight clips.
- Other frequent opponents: bobthebishop15, aayush_o, worst-pie — familiar names that trigger instant chat reactions.
