He learned the craft from his grandfather and still uses the same wooden peel and sourdough starter, treating chess with the same patience he gives his dark rugbrød loaves. Despite the quiet baker's exterior, Mads plays at an estimated 2828 Elo, a level that places him among international masters and grandmasters, with deep theoretical knowledge and the ability to calculate long forcing lines with precision. His handle is a small smooth rye kernel he keeps in his apron pocket, from the first loaf he baked alone at seventeen. Expect a balanced, unhurried opponent who neither rushes nor flinches, calculating every line as carefully as he watches a loaf in the oven.","69","dalga","Denmark","dk","8c6f404eb419f7155b18a4f6dacc5450bb63a4e023fc00462299a103d925cb71","2026-07-06",2828,"json",[15,18,21],{"question":16,"answer":17},"What rating is Mads?","Mads plays at an estimated 2828 Elo.
