Aleksey Grebnev GM

Aleksey Grebnev - Grandmaster of the 64 Squares

Aleksey Grebnev, also known in the chess world as Grebnev_A, earned the prestigious title of Grandmaster from FIDE, a distinction given to only the most dedicated and skilled players. From humble beginnings with a bullet rating of 968 in mid-2020 (where he probably braved a single perfect game), Aleksey burst onto the competitive scene and now dazzles fans with a bullet rating soaring above 2700—a level only the elite dare to reach.

Style & Strength

A true tactician, Aleksey boasts an outstanding comeback rate of 84%, demonstrating his relentless fighting spirit even after losing material on the board. He loves the complexities of endgames, with an endgame frequency above 87%, proving he’s no slouch when it comes to the long haul. His games average around 88 moves to victory, indicating a player who survives the storm and triumphs in the calm.

White or Black, Aleksey commands the board with grace—winning over 63% of his games with White and an impressive 53% with Black. His opening repertoire remains a bit of a secret (he likes to keep the mystery alive), but his top secret openings have netted him a solid win rate hovering around 60% in blitz and bullet.

Psychological Quirks

Aleksey’s best time to play is 11:00 AM, where his win rate hits a perfect 100% in several slots, so if you want to challenge him, don’t book a morning meeting! He manages tilt with a factor of 5—which, in chess terms, means he occasionally grumbles internally but never lets it show on the board.

Recent Battles on the Board

In one of his recent blitz victories, Aleksey skillfully employed the Sicilian Defense with 3.Bc4, forcing his opponent to resign after a grueling 41-move duel full of sharp tactics and positional pressure. Even when defeated, Aleksey never loses grace—his losses often come from brilliant opponents outsmarting him in complex positions.

Opponents Beware!

Aleksey has a charming streak of 100% wins against a slew of players with colorful usernames like sergiochess83, platy3, and i_am_normal_chess_player, proving he’s as consistent as a Swiss watch. But watch out, his record against some opponents is a rollercoaster, with mixed results just to keep the chess world interested.

Fun Fact

Despite being a grandmaster with such a formidable resume, Aleksey’s bullet career started with just a single bullet game in 2020—all wins from the very start! Talk about entering the arena with style.

With his blend of tactical brilliance, endgame mastery, and a dash of mystery, Aleksey Grebnev continues to leave opponents bewildered and enthusiasts inspired. Whether blitz or bullet, this grandmaster proves every day that chess is not just a game; it’s an epic adventure on 64 squares.
