About Andrea Drei
Andrea Drei, known to online rivals as delpi2003, is a FIDE Master who plays blitz like it is the only time control that matters. With a peak blitz rating of 2464 (2026-05-03), Andrea has piled up more than 27,000 blitz games, a workload that would exhaust most grandmasters and quite a few chess clocks.
Style and Openings
The repertoire is built around 1.e4, year after year, almost without exception. Andrea loves the Sicilian Defense, especially the O'Kelly Variation, which appears more than 4,000 times in the database. Add generous helpings of the French Defense, the Four Knights Game, the Caro-Kann Defense and the Scandinavian Defense, and you get a classic king pawn soldier who still finds a fresh fight every single day.
Rivalries
Blitz is a social sport for Andrea. The most storied rivalry is with AtillaBozkurt, who has faced Andrea 74 times with a razor thin margin. Джебраил Фатуллаев and Jilesh Gandhi are close behind with 58 and 57 meetings, making these three names a recurring cast in Andrea's nightly adventures.
