Axel Smith GM

Axel Smith – Grandmaster and Chess Connoisseur

Meet Axel Smith, a chess Grandmaster whose rating graph looks like a rollercoaster designed by a mathematician with a fondness for upward trends. While the title of Grandmaster from FIDE is no joke, Axel’s playstyle seems to suggest he has a wicked sense of humor—if a winning streak of 6 games followed by a mild 3-loss tumble is any indication.

Axel is known in the chess circles by the enigmatic username klippfiskkjerringa, which might be Swedish for “dried fish lady” or just a very healthy appetite for seafood-themed screen names. No matter, this username has netted Axel some serious rapid, daily, and blitz points, boasting peak ratings of 2481 in Rapid, 2477 in Blitz, and a sturdy 2018 in Daily by 2023.

Style & Strengths

• Axel's endgame frequency clocks in at an impressive 84.21%, so if you think you saw an easy finish, think again.
• Average moves per game hover around ~86 moves for wins, proving that patience is not just a virtue, but a secret weapon.
• White pieces yield a slightly better win rate (52.56%) than Black (45.95%), but either side is dangerous in Axel’s hands.
• Comedic comeback artist with a 82.67% comeback rate after losing material – because why surrender when you can spectacularly turn the tables?

The Stats That Make Coaches Smile

Behind the scenes are mighty numbers: 56 wins, 29 losses, and 35 draws in rapid chess alone, with an overall knack to win more often when rated below his opponent rather than above. His longest unbeaten streak showed glimmers of brilliance, and he even clocks a perfect 100% win rate at some odd hours like 7 AM (the best time of day for his chess mojo, apparently).

Recent Battles in the Arena

On December 18, 2023, under the username klippfiskkjerringa, Axel executed a masterclass game using the Slav Defense — ECO: D10 — winning by resignation. What’s more fun? Axel sometimes wins on time with nerves of steel, proving speed chess is well within his arsenal.

When not winning, Axel doesn’t shy away from losing magnificently either — last loss via checkmate just days later, reminding opponents his battles are as thrilling as a chess soap opera.

Opponents Beware

Frequent adversaries such as sl4werthanyou and glufs have met their match, though Axel’s record against them mixes nail-biting wins and strategic lessons. Against some players, Axel boasts 100% win rates — a gentle warning that any game against him is a dangerous dance on the 64 squares.

In Conclusion

Axel Smith might be a Grandmaster on paper, but in practice, he's a strategist who combines tactical brilliance with a charming sense of unpredictability and resilience. Whether it’s grinding down opponents in long endgames or blitzing by panic-stricken rivals, Axel's chess journey is one to watch, study, and occasionally cheer with popcorn in hand.
