Jens Ove Fries Nielsen

International Master (IM) - The Danish Chess Dynamo

Known online as friesnielsen2302, Jens Ove Fries Nielsen is an International Master whose blitz prowess can set the chessboard on fire faster than you can say "checkmate." With a peak blitz rating soaring to an impressive 2719 in early 2025, Jens has proven to be a formidable force in the fast-paced realms of chess.

Starting modestly around 2017 with a blitz rating barely touching 2300, Jens quickly leveled up his game, maintaining exemplary consistency over thousands of games. A blitz warrior, Jens boasts over 22,000 wins with a win rate just shy of 52%, an extraordinary feat considering the intense competition and rapid time controls involved.

But do not let Blitz fool you! His rapid and bullet skills are equally intimidating, slashing through defenses with win rates over 55% in rapid and 56% in bullet. The man practically breathes chess! 

Jens's style? Imagine a blend of patience and tactical thunder. He often prevails in long, drawn endgames, averaging roughly 74 moves per win in blitz, proving that persistence truly pays off. Armed with a comeback rate of nearly 88%, Jens doesn’t throw in the towel easily — unless he's had a tough day at work, which might explain his tilt factor of 22. Even then, the chess gods know Jens remains fiercely competitive.

Chess is a game of timing, and Jens’s best chess hours are nocturnal, with a peak at 11 PM — clearly when the Danish IM turns into a strategic night owl, spotting patterns others miss in the dark.
