Madhvendra Pratap Sharma - Candidate Master Extraordinaire
Meet Madhvendra Pratap Sharma, also known in the chessverse as BlunderingPanda01 – a title-holder who proudly displays the Candidate Master badge from FIDE. Don't let the “Blundering” part fool you too much, though. Behind that panda’s seemingly clumsy moves lies a relentless strategist whose board battles have tested many an opponent’s patience and nerves.
Rating Rollercoaster & Playing Style
Madhvendra’s blitz journey is a thrilling ride up (and sometimes sideways) a rating ladder, reaching an all-time peak of a jaw-dropping 2866 in March 2025. Bullet chess? No less impressive with a peak rating of 2540 in May 2025 – fast-paced, fierce, and often fiery!
Known for an 84.7% frequency in endgames, they definitely love the long haul, crunching out an average of 87 moves per victory. Their comeback rate is an astounding 90% – a true sign they never give up, even after losing a piece. If Madhvendra’s motto were to be distilled, it’d be: "Comeback is the new opening."
Favorite Openings & Secret Weapons
When it comes to openings, Madhvendra is a bit of a mystery wrapped in an enigma, with a vast bulk of their games played under "Unknown Opening" – keeping opponents guessing. However, they have proven deadly effective with weapons like the Sicilian Defense Hyperaccelerated Dragon Variation and the Polish Opening, both boasting a perfect win rate of 100% in blitz.
In bullet, the secret weapon is ironically called "Top Secret” – a fitting name for a player whose strategies are anything but predictable, boasting a cool 66.7% win rate in that opening.
Not Just All Seriousness
Despite having a tilt factor of 9, Madhvendra is no stranger to the ups and downs that chess gods serve. They handle both the poison and the cure – the thrilling victories (like their most recent stunning resignation-won bullet game against Aryan_Tamadon) and the painful losses (ever had your king snatched by a sneaky Anderssen Defense? Madhvendra has).
If you catch them playing around 5 PM local time, take extra care: Madhvendra’s win rate shoots up to a striking 63.6% – prime time for plundering pawns and posing puzzles!

- Blitz Overall: 626 wins, 693 losses, 117 draws

The Legend Continues...
Madhvendra Pratap Sharma embodies the spirit of a player who embraces every game's chaos with smile and grit. Whether it's a brilliant combo or a facepalm blunder, their journey up the ranks is filled with more twists than a Reti Opening. If you ever get the chance to face BlunderingPanda01, brace yourself for a uniquely entertaining ride – victory or not, it will be memorable.
