In Response To: Lesser known GMs (Timothy Chow)

Yes apart from the hard numbers from Daniel, you could say that Henrik Løber is one of the very strong new talents of DBgF, who has earned his norms recently (compared to the other GMs who have earned their norms over a longer period of time).

Henrik Løber is the current Danish champion - both in singles and teams, the latter with "Nemo" (that had a strong line-up with Mads Andersen, Morten Holm Lassen, Thomas Jespersen, Katja Spillum, Gus Hansen and others). 14 players appeared for Nemo during the season, most caps was Jespersen with 19 matches and Løber with 11 matches.

He reached the quarter finals at the most recent Nordic Open, and won the Super JackPot 3 there.

As for Mikael Jensen, he's been one of the strongest for years. I don't know him personally and unfortunately I've never had the chance to play him. If CMC could say a few words about him that would probably do him right, they have played and seen each others play a lot.

What I know is that he might be one of the all time best scorers in the Danish team league elite division, with a win/loss statistic of 125/58, giving the impressive win rate of 68,3%. I've also heard from fellow DBgF'ers that he's considered to be a "non-bot talent" in the sense, that if we had never had the bots, he'd probably have been on of the outright top players in the world.

He's a small list for you showing when the GMs earned their first norm (IM title), and when they earned their 4th norm (GM title):

Lars Trabolt 2001 2008 Karsten Bredahl 2003 2006 Mikael Jensen 2004 2006 Steen Grønbech 2004 2007 Thomas Jespersen 2004 2010 Henrik Løber 2008 2010

Trabolt is not that active within DBgF currently, neither are Jensen.

------

Further information will be made public
When the title system and the GMs/IMs will be officially introduced at the Nordic Open this coming Easter, there will be launched some web-pages containing more information on the norms and the players, including more detailed profiles.

Hope to see you there!
