Nick Greer: The Chess Adventurer

Nick Greer, known in chess circles as the mysterious 13Mate, is a player whose journey through the 64 squares is nothing short of an epic saga. From a humble Rapid rating of 236 in early 2024, Nick quickly climbed the rungs, peaking at 517 that same year. By 2025, the rapid rating settled around a respectable 460, proving this is no flash-in-the-pan.

With 399 Rapid games on record, Nick's style is a quirky yet effective blend — favoring the Modern Defense nearly a hundred times, claiming almost half as wins, yet showing true love (and perhaps some secret magic) with his Van t Kruijs Opening: a stellar 80% win rate out of 10 games. Maybe it's luck, maybe it's genius – either way, opponents beware.

Despite a modest Daily rating hovering at 382 with just one tough game under his belt, Nick’s true strength lies in rapid play, where he combines tactical chutzpah with psychological resilience. Known for an impressive 67.93% comeback rate and a perfect win record after losing a piece, Nick can turn disaster into triumph like a true chess Houdini.

Nick's games often last around 53 moves, reflecting a patience that balances strategic depth with an eagerness to seize the initiative. Interestingly, with a tilt factor of just 10 and an early resignation rate under 3%, Nick rarely throws in the towel early or succumbs to frustration. He prefers to fight till the endgame—and these late battles are where Nick shines most, engaging in long, thoughtful skirmishes on the board.

Beware if you see Nick sitting down at the board on a Thursday afternoon or Friday evening—his win rates peak during these times, with a goofy grin possibly spreading as he silently plots his next move.

Off the board, Nick is the kind of player who probably laughs at his own blunders, unlike opponents who see a clean sweep of 100% win rates against several users such as letsgooooooo7 and godliker_3. A chess player who takes both wins and losses in stride — if only every player shared such spirit!

Nick Greer's chess story is still unfolding, one thrilling move at a time. Watch closely; this is one player who might just castle his way into legend.
