Profile Summary for pankajthanki

pankajthanki is a committed and versatile chess competitor whose career in blitz chess spans thousands of games and several years of steady progress. His journey is defined by a rich and varied rating history – with his Blitz rating oscillating between the mid‐1400s and low‐1600s over the years, and a foray into Rapid games marked by a solid 1496 rating as of 2025. These numbers tell the story of a player who continually refines his craft while balancing high-scoring wins with challenging losses.

Over the years, pankajthanki has built an impressive win–loss–draw record in blitz play (with over 22,000 wins against roughly 21,400 losses and just over 1,500 draws), a testament to his competitive edge and never‐surrendering attitude. His tactical acumen is remarkable – boasting a comeback rate of nearly 87% and a very low one–sided loss rate of just 3.5%, which shows his ability to turn adverse positions around. Even when the battle seems lost, his resilience and willingness to keep fighting remain key parts of his game.

A student of both theory and practical play, pankajthanki has cultivated a broad opening repertoire. His performance with multiple Queen’s Pawn, English, and other popular systems displays a balanced win rate regardless of whether he plays white (47.84%) or black (50.25%). Moreover, an emphasis on endgame technique is evident in his style—with nearly 70% of his games reaching the latter stages— and he averages around 65 moves in wins compared to roughly 58 moves in losses, reflecting a keen sense of when to press an advantage or cut short a doomed battle.

Time management is another area where his play shines. Analysis of his performance by days of the week and by the hour of the day reveals consistent results throughout, with slight peaks during early morning or late evening sessions – a pattern typical of a dedicated, thoughtful competitor. His psychological trends further support this image: a low tilt factor of 16 and a healthy win‐difference between rated and casual play (nearly 49 points) suggest a calm, focused mindset even under pressure.

In summary, pankajthanki is a passionate and evolving chess player. His enduring dedication, impressive tactical awareness, broad opening knowledge, and psychological fortitude have all contributed to a steadily improving rating trajectory – a journey that continues to inspire his peers and promises more exciting chapters in his chess career.
