Gabriel Chess Trainer - International Master

Known in the chess circles as el_greek, Gabriel Chess Trainer is an International Master bestowed by FIDE, a title reserved for those who can outwit opponents faster than a knight forks a queen and rook!

Gabriel's journey in chess rating is a rollercoaster of brilliance and perseverance. Starting with modest Bullet ratings in 2014 around 1300, he swiftly stormed through the ranks, peaking at a blistering Blitz rating of 2395 in 2018 and later topping 2300+ in Blitz by 2019. But don’t mistake rapid play for recklessness—his endgame frequency hitting above 66% proves he's just as comfortable grinding through the late stages as he is blitzing out quick tactics.

Speaking of tactics, Gabriel boasts an impressive 71.9% comeback rate and an astounding 80.48% win rate even after losing a piece. Clearly, this is a player who thrives under pressure—and sometimes might even lose a bishop just to mess with his opponent’s head.

Speaking of heads, Gabriel's psychological resilience is enviable. With a low tilt factor of 10, he’s more "calm grandmaster" than "angry amateur smashing the keyboard"—proof that cool nerves are as important as queen sacrifices.

Gabriel’s opening choice remains classified as Top Secret, but his win rates across time controls tell a story: dominating Bullet with a 57% win rate, solid Blitz success near 50%, and even a perfect 100% in Rapid (those casual opponents never saw it coming). White pieces bring out a stronger game (55.13% wins) but don’t count him out with Black; 51.45% wins there speak volumes too.

His match history is peppered with epic streaks, including a longest winning streak of 19 games. Whether you catch him on Tuesday mornings with 65.97% win odds, or during the mystical 12 PM hour where he boasts a flawless 100%, Gabriel is always a formidable foe.

When not busy crushing opponents online under aliases like el_greek, Gabriel might be found explaining why chess is not just a game of pieces but a battle of wits—and occasionally broken pencils.

Keep an eye on this International Master; the secret sauce to his success might just be coffee, calculation, and a pinch of Greek fire!
