Prabhakar Mangipudi (aka Prabha0510)

Meet Prabhakar Mangipudi, a cunning chess warrior who’s been navigating the 64 squares with a blend of fiery passion and methodical strategy since at least 2023. Known in the online chess world as Prabha0510, Prabhakar has been making rapid strides – quite literally in the Rapid chess category – where his rating soared from a humble 212 in mid-2023 to a peak of 1368 by May 2025. Talk about a glow-up!

If chess ratings were a rollercoaster ride, Prabhakar’s would be the one that starts off slow, builds anticipation, and then zooms with surprising twists and turns. Despite occasional dips and setbacks (because who hasn't blundered a queen or two?), his comebacks are so fierce they could be featured in an epic chess movie – his comeback rate stands at an impressive 84%!

Playing style? Well, Prabhakar likes to keep opponents on their toes, boasting a 52% win rate with the white pieces and 46% with black. He’s a patient tactician, averaging around 54 moves per win, enjoying drawn-out battles rather than quick snaps. Early resignations are rare in his games (just 1.3%), so prepare for the long haul.

When it comes to openings, Prabhakar is delightfully eclectic. While “Top Secret” openings dominate his games (and maybe a few confidential gambits he won’t reveal), he’s also dabbled with Scotch Game, Italian Game, and even the Englund Gambit – because why not sprinkle a bit of spice? His highest win rates come from the Scotch Game, where he triumphs almost 78% of the time. Some say he’s unbeatable there; others suspect the opponent was distracted by his playful username.

If timing is everything, then Prabhakar’s best time to strike is around 1 a.m., when his win rate peaks at a gleaming 71%. Maybe the midnight oil fuels his chess genius or the quiet hours grant him zen-like focus. Either way, night owls and insomniacs, this is your cue.

The psychological battlefield? Beware of the Tilt Factor (12) – Prabhakar keeps his cool better than most, though occasional frustrations do sneak in. But it’s all part of the charm of a gritty player who refuses to give up easily.

His most memorable recent battles include a spectacular victory by resignation on June 1st, 2025, against “RajjoMania,” showcasing his strategic mastery and patience. And while every warrior faces defeat, Prabhakar’s losses are just steps on the path to wisdom – including a hard-fought checkmate loss the same day to “RAHITERR.”

Outside the board, one can imagine Prabhakar as the kind of player who chuckles at blunders, appreciates the beauty of a well-executed fork, and maybe occasionally talks trash to his pieces when they don’t quite cooperate. A chess player with a sense of humor and heart!
