The Grob Is not that bad ( grob appreciation thread )
Sort:
GROB, uuummm!!? OK for Blitz or Bullet play but in any Classical Time Control it's weaknesses are going to be magnified against any decent player, I played it twice over the board tournament play and won in under 30 moves but on super fast time controls such openings offer good 40% success chance!
This Is a thread in appreciation for the grob opening. I usually play it or the Italian. I win nearly as much with the grob and have way more fun with it. The grob keeps you on edge, and is full of traps to trick your opponent. Making for very entertaining adrenaline filled games!
