Asger Palm - The Resilient Chess Strategist

Meet Asger Palm, known in the digital chess battlefield as AsgerAlstrup, a player whose love for bullet and blitz chess is almost as fierce as his knack for comebacks. With a chess career sprawling over a decade, Asger has danced through pawns, knights, and rooks with a bullet rating that once peaked at an impressive 1663 in 2023, and blitz besting 1740 in 2020. Not bad for someone who’s as comfortable slinging moves faster than most can blink (or say “checkmate!”).

Starting his online ventures with a humble daily rating of 871 back in 2008, Asger quickly evolved into a seasoned tactician. His playing style? Let’s say it’s a blend of patience and passion—he’s no quitter, evidenced by a remarkably low early resignation rate of just 0.79%. Instead, he prefers the long game with an average of 67 moves per win, showing endurance that would put marathon runners to shame.

Psychologically, Asger is the poster child for resilience—a comeback rate surpassing 83% and a 100% win rate after losing a piece. In simpler terms, if Asger loses a piece, you better watch out, because things are about to get spicy. His tilt factor is admirably low (only 12), proving he keeps his cool even when the heat is on.

Asger’s opening repertoire reads like a storybook of classic and modern defenses with a twist. The Sicilian Defense McDonnell Attack and the King’s Pawn Opening are among his favorites, boasting over 50% win rates and tipping the scales in his favor. Meanwhile, his love for the Italian Game Hungarian Defense shows his taste for traditional chess drama, with nearly 50% success—nothing wrong with a balanced diet of chess openings!

On weekdays, don’t be surprised if Asger drops you in under 70 moves around 6 AM or 4 AM – those are his peak win hours, apparently fueled by early morning caffeine and a strong will to win. But evenings at 3 AM? That’s when his win rate spikes to a mystical 57.14%... either the chess fairy visits or he’s just really good at night owling.

With thousands of games played so far — including a bullet tally of 9,819 battles and Blitz fights tallying over 7,000 games — Asger Palm is not just in it for the casual checkmate; he's here to grind, adapt, and conquer.
Whether you’re playing him in bullet, blitz, rapid, or daily chess, be ready for a challenging fight from a player who mixes old-school endurance with a modern tactical eye. And if you ever find yourself facing AsgerAlstrup, remember: never underestimate the comeback kid!
