Andrew Greet, International Master
Andrew Greet, known online as Grimlock_Glasgow, is a FIDE-titled International Master with a distinctly energetic chess profile. His games suggest a player who enjoys initiative, tactical pressure, and keeping the position interesting long after sensible people would have gone to bed.
Playing Style
Greet is especially comfortable in fast chess, with Bullet standing out as his preferred time control. Across his recorded games, he has also shown a strong appetite for Blitz, where his peak performance reached 2,581 in the supplied statistics.
His style is active and resilient. He gives the first check in roughly 61% of analyzed games and wins nearly 69% of games in which he checks first. Rooks are his most frequent checking pieces, although queens and knights are always ready to join the party.
Opening Repertoire
With White, Greet frequently turns to the Sicilian Defense, including the Closed and Alapin variations. The statistics show especially strong results in the Alapin Variation and the Four Knights Game.
As Black, he has produced impressive results with the Caro-Kann Defense, the Australian Defense, and the wonderfully mischievous Elephant Gambit. In rapid chess, the Elephant Gambit produced a striking 12 wins from 13 games, which is either excellent preparation or a highly committed refusal to behave normally.
