He climbed from a floor of 1730 in Blitz to a peak of 2621 (2026-04-26) in April 2026, proving that in chess, home is where the king is.
Blitz and the Bullet Nomad

shows the full arc of a player who refuses to stay down. His longest winning streak is 7 games, his longest losing streak is also 7 games, a perfect symmetry that suggests he enjoys drama. His best day to play is Wednesday with a perfect 100% win rate, so plan your challenges accordingly.Repertoire Roulette
With White, he is a loyal disciple of the London System, including the sharp Poisoned Pawn setup he has wielded 84 times in Blitz. With Black, the Sicilian Defense is his trusted shield, especially the Classical Variation where he scores a formidable 63.64%. The Caro-Kann Defense is less friendly to him at 25%, but every opening has its off days. He has also ventured into the Amazon Attack Siberian Attack on 27 occasions, because why not.
Fighter's Mentality
Numbers rarely tell the whole story, but these are loud: a comeback rate of 88.61%, an endgame frequency above 91%, and an average game length close to 95 moves. Martin does not win by sprint, he wins by marathon. Against higher rated opposition his win rate actually climbs to 68.84%, while against lower rated players it drops to 24.86%, which is the clearest sign of a chess adrenaline junkie. His best hour to play is 12:00, presumably after a proper Norwegian lunch.
Rivalries
