Prem Kanna: The Master of Top Secret Openings
Meet Prem Kanna, known on the chessboard as MasterDevv, a player whose rating graph resembles a thrilling rollercoaster—minus the screaming crowd. With a rapid rating soaring from a humble 225 in early 2024 to an impressive 571 by 2025, Prem's journey has been nothing short of a chess epic.
Prem is a connoisseur of "Top Secret" openings, wielding them in over 200 rapid games with a steady win rate of nearly 54%. His blitz and bullet stats might make you chuckle—blitz is a cruel mistress with zero wins in a few attempts, and bullet, well, let’s just say it’s not his cup of tea—but oh, the rapid format is where this strategist shines.
Strategically, Prem is patient and resilient. He tends to play almost 50 moves on average before sealing a win, and digs deep even when down a piece, boasting a perfect 100% win rate after losing material. His longest winning streak stands proudly at six games, and he’s currently riding a mini winning streak of two — no rest for the weary!
Prem’s psychological game is as colorful as his handle. With a modest tilt factor of 6, he’s pretty chill for a competitor who’s clawed back from tough losses with a 55% comeback rate. He’s known to resign early only about 7% of the time — proof he knows when to fight and when to bow out gracefully.
Interestingly, Prem’s best days to blitz opponents are Thursdays and Tuesdays, with a win rate soaring above 60%. Early mornings around 11 am appear to be his power hours, winning nearly two-thirds of his battles then. If you’re planning a match, maybe avoid his 5 am games — survival rate is low!
Opponents beware: Prem has a mixed record against frequent foes, giving up zero wins to some and a clean sweep to others. But with a tactical brain that flourishes under pressure and an uncanny knack for turning the tables, this chess player is always full of surprises.
In short, Prem Kanna is the kind of player who takes "checkmate" very seriously—but with a pinch of humor and a fondness for secret openings that keep you guessing until the very end. Whether you face him in rapid or dare to engage in blitz, expect a game filled with cunning, commitment, and maybe a few sneaky moves that will leave you thinking, "What just happened?"
