Introduction
Dirk Floor, better known to opponents as miep2, is a FIDE Candidate Master whose chess journey reads like a marathon with a sense of humor. He has played more than 40,000 analyzed games, reached a peak Blitz rating of 2509 (2019-08-16), and once won 13 games in a row. Then he lost 14 in a row, just to keep things balanced.
The Blitz Grinder
Blitz is where Dirk lives. From 2013 to 2026, he built a mountain of rating points, peaking at 2509 in August 2019. His record in Blitz includes over 18,000 wins and nearly 18,000 losses, making him one of the most prolific fighters on the platform. He tends to play best at 8 a.m., which suggests he is either a morning person or a player who likes to defeat sleepy opponents.
Opening Repertoire
Dirk's repertoire is a mix of classical foundations and offbeat adventures. He has a deep relationship with several openings, including:
- Caro-Kann Defense: more than 1,200 games
- Czech Defense: over 1,100 games
- Nimzo-Larsen Attack: nearly 700 games
- Scandinavian Defense: his best win rate at over 51 percent
If there is a solid setup, Dirk has probably tried it. If there is a weird one, he has tried that too.
Rivalries
Great players need great rivals, and Dirk has a full roster. His most frequent opponent is Slave Trajkoski, who faced him 156 times. Dirk won that series 70 to 65, with 21 draws. He also traded blows with Grant Spraggett, Dr. Norbert Barth, and Darko Jelen, turning each matchup into its own mini-series.
Daily Perfection
For all his Blitz marathons, Dirk's most remarkable numbers come in Daily chess. He finished 10 games with 10 wins and zero losses, plus a single draw. That undefeated Daily record and a strength-adjusted win rate above 83 percent make him a patient assassin when the clock is slow.
Legacy
Dirk Floor is a Candidate Master who never stops playing. He delivers checks by the thousands, usually with a rook, and he grinds out wins that last nearly 80 moves on average. He comes back from losing positions 87 percent of the time, and he does it all with the cheerful persistence of someone who genuinely loves the game. Whether he is blitzing at sunrise or perfecting his Daily record, Dirk Floor leaves a mark on every board he touches.
