A Rollercoaster of Ratings

Starting strong in early 2023, Panna1861’s rapid rating danced from the low 600s up to a valiant 736. But every great story has its plot twists — subsequent years saw a slow descent to ratings hovering around the 300s by mid-2025. Clearly, the chess gods enjoy keeping this player humble!

Opening Gambits and Tactical Flair

And let's not forget the spectacular 47.83% win rate with the Englund Gambit, an opening that screams "Surprise!" — and sometimes leaves opponents wondering what just happened.
