Nicolas Perossa - The FIDE Master with a Blitz Flair
Nicolas Perossa, known in the online chess community as chess_blitz00, holds the esteemed title of FIDE Master. A player who straddles the line between brilliance and battling the timer, Nicolas's career is a thrilling rollercoaster of tactical fireworks and daring blitz escapades.
With a peak blitz rating soaring to an eye-watering 2813 in March 2025, Nicolas has proven that speed and strategic depth need not be mutually exclusive. His bullet rating peaked at a formidable 2749, demonstrating uncanny quick thinking under pressure. Rapid and daily games see solid performances too, but it’s in the fast-paced blitz and bullet arenas where Nicolas truly feels at home.
Nicolas’s playing style is a curious blend of endurance and tactical finesse. He averages nearly 90 moves per win in blitz, a testament to his penchant for long fights and complicated positions rather than quick knockouts. Although his games often stretch deep into the endgame (observed in over 85% of his matches), he keeps opponents on their toes with a hefty comeback rate of almost 89% — because who doesn't love a comeback story?
If chess were a soap opera, Nicolas would be the lead actor with dramatic ups and downs. His win-loss records show more losses than wins in blitz and bullet, but with a tilt factor of just 16, he’s nobody’s victim to bad moods after disappointing setbacks. Possibly fueled by caffeine and sheer stubbornness, Nicolas often bounces back stronger than ever.
Opening enthusiasts should note his mysterious "Top Secret" approach dominating over 4,500 blitz games, but for those willing to glimpse his repertoire, expect to encounter the Sicilian Defense Smith Morra Gambit (his winning rate here is an impressive 54.55%), the Four Knights Game Scotch Variation, and the English Opening Agincourt Defense, where he wins two-thirds of his skirmishes.

Whether facing opponents ranked above or below, Nicolas approaches each battle with a mix of strategic skill and humor—because if you can’t laugh when your rook gets trapped, what can you do?
