Panos

Panos (aka posspass) - The Bullet Blitzer Extraordinaire

Panos isn't your average chess player; he's a whirlwind on the bullet chessboard, zipping through games with lightning speed and an enviable tactical eye. Emerging on the scene around 2015 with a bullet rating peak of 1071, Panos proved early on that patience might be a virtue, but rapid-fire calculation is his game.

Career Highlights and Style

Specializing in bullet and blitz games, Panos boasts a gritty record: over 12,000 bullet games played, nearly evenly split between wins and losses, and a blitz battler with almost a 50% win ratio. His peak blitz rating, a solid 963, and a rapid rating peaking at 1070 in early 2022, showcase versatility beyond bullet time.

Known for the Queens Pawn Opening Zukertort Chigorin Variation, Panos loves to throw opponents off with this strategic gambit. This variation alone accounts for over a thousand bullet games with a 55% win rate – not bad at all for keeping both kings sweating.

Playing Style and Psychological Warfare

With an early resignation rate of just under 5%, Panos rarely throws in the towel before a fight. Interestingly, his opponent's worse luck comes in the endgame, which he visits in nearly two-thirds of his games. Average moves per win hover around 60, while losses are typically shorter affairs – a sign that when things go bad, Panos doesn't take any unnecessary risks.

His comeback rate is an astonishing 83%, meaning Panos has a knack for turning losing positions into victorious celebrations, leaving his opponents scratching their heads and rethinking their life choices.

The Mood of the Game

Panos’s psychological tilt factor stands close to 30, a humble reminder that even the damnedest of tactics need a steady mind. His best hours to play? Bright and early at 7 am, when perhaps the coffee kicks in and his brain moves faster than the clock.

Notable Recent Battles

In June 2025, Panos added another bullet win to his collection with a classic Queens Pawn Opening win, outlasting ItsBrabis on time after a tense 46-move fight. Not everything is rosy, though; recent losses remind us that even the best can get checkmated before their morning coffee. But hey, it’s all part of being gloriously human – or gloriously bullet-flashy.

Famous Opponents & Memorable Stats

Panos is not shy about challenging familiar foes, having faced tomsam554 nearly 150 times with a respectable 42% win rate. Not surprisingly, his strongest performance sparkles in fast-paced play, exploiting opponent time troubles with nearly 5063 wins by timeout in bullet games alone.

In Conclusion

Whether it’s squeezing out a win in the final seconds or coming back from a piece down, Panos is the quintessential blitz enthusiast who combines speed, resilience, and just enough occasional chaos to keep the game interesting. A joy to watch, a pain to play against, and a true testament to the mad dash that is bullet chess.
