Hamzah Mohiuddin - The Grandmaster of Grit
Known online as JordanPanda, Hamzah Mohiuddin is a chess enthusiast whose journey on the 64 squares is far from ordinary. A player who took the Slow and Steady path and then dramatically accelerated, Hamzah's rating graph reads like a thrill ride from beginner to near expert in record time.
Rapid Rise in Rapid Chess
Starting with humble beginnings in late 2020, Hamzah's Rapid rating jumped from a modest 180 to a peak of 1020 in just a few months, demonstrating not just talent but some serious study and dedication. His aggressive Kings Pawn opening led to a blistering 90% win rate, and even a flawless 100% winning streak in the Leonardis Variation - talk about opening with a bang!
Blitz Battles & Bullet Brilliancies
But don't box him as a slow thinker — Hamzah thrives under time pressure too. His Blitz max rating crossed 1000, and Bullet wasn’t far behind with a peak near 950. Known for his fierce defensive skill & tactical awareness, he has a comeback rate over 50%, often turning seemingly lost positions into wins. Sharp and swift, but never reckless.
Playing Style: The Chess Joke’s Favorite
Hamzah is known for:
- A respectable early resignation rate of 12% — because why play long and stress when you can save your energy for next game?
- Endgame frequency near 40%, proving he knows how to turn the heat up till the very last pawn.
- White has 76.7% wins, but Black nearly trumps with a sizzling 78% win rate — proof he’s comfortable in any role on the board.
Also, his absolute peak playing hour is 17:00, meaning he probably plays best right after tea and chess jokes.
Psychological Warfare & Opponents
Hamzah's tilt factor is remarkably low (only 4), meaning when he loses, he's quick to shake it off and come back stronger — maybe with a witty comment about 'chess demons'. Opponents beware: he has a 100% win rate against a surprising number of foes, and an enviable record against everyone who dares to challenge him.
Recent Games Highlight
In his latest victory, Hamzah (as Black) masterfully dismantled the Englund Gambit with cool precision, winning by resignation after 25 moves—making it look easy, while silently plotting his next trap.
His notable losses tend to come in nail-biting time scrambles, proving his games are intense battles to the very second.

Hamzah Mohiuddin, aka JordanPanda, isn’t just a player; he’s a chess adventurer whose story is told in sudden bursts of brilliance and steady perseverance. Whether you face him online or study his games, expect the unexpected, a few smiles, and some serious chess wizardry.
