Moritz Weishäutel FM

Meet the Player Behind the Username

Some chess usernames are humble. Others are lies. Moritz Weishäutel, who plays online as RandomNoob04, proudly belongs to the second category. This German FIDE Master has spent years proving that his handle is the least accurate thing about him. With a peak blitz rating of 2946, he operates at a level where "noob" is not just incorrect, it is practically a taunt.

Moritz is a blitz animal through and through. His online resume features over 1,500 blitz games, a 17-game winning streak, and a rating curve that looks like a rocket launch. Some players climb slowly. Moritz went from the 2500s to the 2900s and kept asking for more.

Explosive Blitz Rating Run

Moritz first appeared on the blitz scene in late 2021 and did not waste time. By summer 2024 he was knocking on the 2800 door, and in August 2026 he peaked at a jaw-dropping 2946. That is online grandmaster territory, and he reached it while holding the title of FIDE Master, which makes the whole thing feel like a speedrun.

His peak performance stands at 2946 (2026-08-04), a number that places him comfortably among the toughest online blitz warriors of his generation.

A Repertoire Built on Fun and Fire

Moritz is a devoted 1.e4 player who rarely experiments with anything else. As White he loves the chaotic Bird Opening and its Dutch Variation, Batavo Gambit, a line he has played 147 times with a 62.59% win rate. He also has a soft spot for the Center Game, the Berger Variation, where his opponents often find themselves fighting for equality before move ten.

As Black, his signature weapon is the Scandinavian Defense. He has played it 186 times in blitz, winning 105 games, and he treats the line less like a solid opening and more like a license to create carnage. Add in the Petrov's Defense and the Sicilian Defense Alapin Variation, and you get a player who is equally comfortable punishing gambits and outlasting positional grinders.

A familiar Scandinavian scene from his games: Black grabs the queen early, Moritz develops with tempo, and the fireworks begin.

Favorite Victims and Fearsome Rivals

Every great player needs a reliable opponent. For Moritz, that opponent is paulghb. They have faced each other 46 times in blitz, and Moritz has won 42 of those battles. You would think paulghb would stop accepting the rematch by now. You would be wrong.

Moritz also holds dominant records against 3buzz with a perfect 10 wins from 11 games, and against grandmaster893 with a clean 9 wins and zero losses. His win rate against samdanov sits at 17 wins from 21 meetings.

But nobody is invincible. Iniyan P has Moritz's number, holding a 12 wins to 2 lead in their series. Even more painful is his rivalry with Daniel Naroditsky, a famous grandmaster who has beaten Moritz 8 times out of 9. Moritz did get that one win, and you can bet he remembers it fondly. Then there is Krikor Sevag Mekhitarian, who has somehow never lost to him in 8 games. Every hero needs a villain.

Comebacks, Clutches, and Chaos

Moritz does not win pretty. He wins anyway. His comeback rate is a monstrous 87.96%, and he still wins 55.09% of games after losing a piece. Opponents who think they have the game in the bag are usually in the most danger. He reaches the endgame in over 80% of his games, and his average winning game lasts about 73 moves. That is not speed chess. That is a marathon with boxing gloves.

He is also the kind of player who strikes first. Moritz delivers the first check in nearly 60% of his games, and when he does, his win rate jumps to 63.37%. His opponents, by contrast, win only 46.24% of the time when they check first. The message is clear: Moritz likes being the one in charge.

Streaks, Tilt, and Night Owl Habits

Moritz once rattled off 17 consecutive wins, which is the kind of run that makes opponents question their life choices. His longest losing streak is a relatively modest 7 games, and his tilt factor sits at 7, meaning he stays surprisingly calm for someone who plays the Batavo Gambit for fun.

His best time of day is 04:00, when he wins 100% of his games. His win rate at 03:00 is also a perfect 100%, and at 06:00 it is 92.31%. If you want to beat Moritz, your best bet is the afternoon, when his win rate dips below 50%. Moritz is officially a creature of the night.

He thrives on Thursdays and Fridays with win rates of 84.34% and 80%, and he crushes lower-rated opposition with a 72.88% win rate. Against stronger opponents he still manages a respectable 26.36%. He also has an early resignation rate of 41%, which sounds bad until you realize he mostly resigns games he was going to lose anyway, saving everyone some time.

The Side Quests: Rapid and Daily

Blitz is Moritz's home, but his side quests are almost comically strong. In rapid chess he has a record of 38 wins, 3 losses, and 4 draws, with a peak rating of 2647. In daily chess he has 76 wins against just 4 losses, including an August 2026 stretch where he won 53 of 56 games. If Moritz ever decides to take rapid chess seriously, the rest of the server should be worried.

The Verdict

Moritz Weishäutel, also known as RandomNoob04, is a FIDE Master who plays like a man with something to prove. He punishes gambits, outlasts endgames, grinds down old rivals, and saves his best chess for 4 AM. His blitz rating has touched the 2946 stratosphere, and his username has never been less accurate. Call him a noob at your own risk. He will probably checkmate you by move 30 and then win the rematch too.
