Here is the last game I won by employing the Grob Storm system: https://www.chess.com/analysis/game/live/7491210319
I was trying for a perpetual but got a mate instead. I've been playing it for many hours, but the power of the Grob Storm will always find a way to surprise me.

The system is still in its infancy, but it appears to be roughly 4.5 times more successful when I apply it as white. Many thanks to https://www.chess.com/member/gitarrtomten for creating the extremely useful software at https://www.aichesscoach.net/!
Hello everyone,
After much deliberation, I have decided to retire the Grob Storm system because it is artificially depressing my rating and that is considered sandbagging.
I am now going to explore the Rover (for "rook over") opening as black and white, which is another unconventional but more "sound" system: g3 Bg2 Nf3 0-0.
I will still play and explore the Grob Storm occasionally, but only as anonymous.
