Olaf Gøtriksson - The Relentless Danish Blitz Battler

Username: Dansker_88

Olaf Gøtriksson is a chess player from Denmark who dances with the pieces like a well-trained ballet performer—if that ballet involved a hint of thunder and an occasional blunder. Known for his fierce blitz games, Olaf embraces the chaos of fast time controls with a career blitz peak of 1506, achieved in April 2020, proving he's no stranger to rapid-fire tactical melees.

Playing Style & Tendencies

Olaf is known for his gritty comebacks, boasting a comeback rate of over 70%. He tends to prefer longer games when he wins, averaging 55 moves per win but struggles to keep those losses short with an average of 68 moves in defeat.

He is not afraid to resign early - a mere 2.8% early resign rate - showing either humility or pure strategic understanding (or sometimes impatience!). With a tilt factor of 143, Olaf’s resilience is tested, yet he often bounces back harder than ever.

His best time of day to play is around 11 PM—so beware if you challenge him past bedtime. Perhaps the night reveals the true monster behind "Dansker_88".

Signature Matches

One of Olaf’s most remarkable recent victories is a brilliant checkmate delivered against hieumojo in June 2025, where he pulled off a sneaky queen sacrifice leading to a swift and elegant mate. If you enjoy creative attacks, his games are a treasure trove!

Fun Facts & Quirks

• Despite dabbling in bullet chess, Olaf’s passion truly ignites in blitz and daily chess where he thrives.
• He has a soft spot for the King's Pawn Opening with a solid >55% win rate in blitz games—a reliable friend in the heated moments.
• Olaf once played 143 consecutive games losing in a streak that would make even the toughest grandmaster want a break—talk about dedication!
• He tends to favor dynamic and classical openings but retains a mysterious “Top Secret" opening that confuses many opponents.

Opponent Records

Olaf has an impressive record against opponents like hieumojo, FraudeSanchez, and jackyjakhjoukhi, often forcing resignations or checkmates. However, some players like cubilias and micko005 remain his kryptonite for now.

In Conclusion

Olaf Gøtriksson, or Dansker_88 as he’s known in the chess world, may not be a world champion (yet), but his journey through the ranks of blitz, rapid, bullet, and daily chess is filled with heart, humility, and a fair share of meme-worthy losses. Prepare yourself to witness a player who embodies the spirit of a true chess warrior—falling hard, rising harder, and always ready for the next game.

So if you ever face Olaf online, remember: the pieces might be swift, but the man behind them is swift-witted and relentless. Check yourself before you wreck yourself… or better yet, just pray for a draw!
