Vedant Panesar - The FIDE Master Known as Mysterio47
Meet Vedant Panesar, a chess virtuoso who earned the prestigious title of FIDE Master and proves every day that the 64 squares aren't big enough to contain their brilliance. On the battlefield of blitz, bullet, and rapid games alike, Vedant — or as the chess world sometimes calls them, Mysterio47 — strikes with the precision of a grandmaster and the sneaky cunning of a chess ninja.
Rating Rollercoaster and Play Style
Vedant’s blitz ratings have danced upwards spectacularly, reaching a peak blitz rating of 2977 in May 2025—clearly putting them in the upper echelons of speed chess masterminds. Bullet ratings haven’t lagged far behind, surging to an impressive 2787, while rapid play peaked at 2849. If rapid was an Olympic sport, Vedant would be going home with gold... or maybe bronze if they’re feeling humble.
Known for a fierce Pirc Defense with a winning rate over 60% in blitz, Vedant mixes aggressive yet calculated opening choices like the Modern Defense and the Caro-Kann Defense Advance Tal Variation. If you try opening with the Queens Pawn Chigorin Variation, be warned—Vedant’s win rate there dips to a modest 38%, so maybe pick your battles wisely.
The Stats Don’t Lie
- Blitz Games Played: Over 3,500, with a win count towering at 1,660.
- Bullet Victories: 149 and climbing, proving nerves of steel when only seconds remain on the clock.
- Average Moves Per Win: A marathon 88+ moves, which means Vedant has patience rivaled only by a saint (or someone who really loves endgames).
- Comeback Mastery: An astounding 87.8% comeback rate after being in a losing position — basically, the chess equivalent of Houdini.
A Gamesmanship Summary
Vedant is a chess gladiator with a tilt factor measured at a cool 11 (chess players, you know what that means!). Their best time of day? 6 PM sharp — catch them then or forever wonder what might have been. White pieces bring the best out of them at a 50.4% win rate, but black pieces aren’t far behind either at 44.1%. Basically, Vedant can win with either color, preferably while sipping a strong cup of coffee.
Recent Battles
The latest victory against Tapuah showcased Vedant’s deep understanding of the Reti Opening Nimzo-Larsen Variation with a calm, precise resignation victory after pushing their opponent to the brink. On the flip side, like all mortals, Vedant tasted recent defeat at the hands of ReadySkate via a thrilling Sicilian Defense game that ended in checkmate — proof that even FIDE Masters can’t win every match, no matter how "mysterious" they are.
Personality and Playing Philosophy
With a healthy respect for the endgame (played in over 86% of their games) and a knack for embracing complexity rather than fleeing from it, Vedant’s games are labyrinthine adventures. They volunteer for long battles, showing no fear in late-game duels and thrive on tactical awareness with a commendable win rate even after losing a piece.
Whether it’s playing a rapid fire bullet game or entering a marathon blitz duel, Vedant Panesar is a name to remember on the chessboard. Approaching every match with humor and a strategic mind, the mystery behind Mysterio47 is exactly what makes chess exciting: the thrill of the unknown, wrapped in a fortress of calculated moves.
