Playing Style and Stats
Dagur boasts an impressive win rate at blitz (over 52%) and bullet (over 53%) games, which means if you’re playing fast chess against them, you better bring your A-game! With a longest winning streak of 19 games, Dagur's hot streaks could burn even the coldest opponent. On the flip side, a longest losing streak of 10 reminds us even champions have their “Oops” moments.
Known for tactical awareness with a remarkable 90.67% comeback rate, Dagur barely flinches after losing material and often turns the tables with brilliant counterplays. A psychological tilt factor of 10 suggests our IM is cool as ice in stressful situations—probably drinking coffee at 4 a.m., the best time of day to play, according to Dagur’s stats.
Signature Openings
While Dagur likes to keep their blitz and bullet games wrapped in a bit of mystery (“Top Secret” is the opening of choice!), their sharp playstyle thrives in complex positions demanding creativity and tenacity.
Recent Memorable Games
Just recently, Dagur outwitted vigga_in_the_house in a daily game with a Scandinavian Defense (Mieses-Kotrc Variation), securing a win on time but demonstrating positional mastery along the way. Not every victory comes from a brutal tactical smackdown; sometimes patience pays off, or the clock simply does the work.
Of course, even an International Master isn’t immune to setbacks. His most recent adventures include a tough battle against Losingexperience, where a checkmate ended the game. But don’t worry, Dagur bounces back faster than a chess pawn reaching promotion.
