He honestly isn't overly great as a General in Canon. I'll say he's decent for now because it is probably a mix of the droids being poor (particularly the B1 models) and somewhat meh leadership.

Grievous in Canon is simply not the sharpest knife in the drawer

I can't even really recall many tactic instances by Grevious in Canon...and I recall like only one other strategist as an Admiral in Trench.
Ew Canon tho.

The only time I ever felt semi-proud of Grievous was when he managed to rescue Dooku from Talzin. And even then he was a little slow.

The CIS's performance with grevious is much better than their performance without, I'd say that's sufficient to say grevious did a good job

I guess however it's not too much of a surprise, since the CIS was first and foremost a bunch of businessmen with military leadership as more an off branch.

I haven't read the novels, only the comics, but from what I've seen, yea, I'd prolly side with Thrawn as the best tactician.

In Legends, Thrawn is kinda hax and is pretty much at the top as far as fleet strategists go.
Canon.....I think he's a contender for the top, he's not as hax though with strategy.

who in canon has shown better strategy? I mean Anakin 'sunconventional shizz is great, but he doesn't do stuff on the scale thrawn does.

I mean Thrawn could also be in Canon, but he's kinda limited so far, hence why he's a contender. Depends on what is written for him next. Unless I'm missing something about him.

Grievous isn't terrible, but he can seriously be his own worst enemy. When he captured Eeth Koth, he apparently didn't expect any reprisal. He should have killed Koth instead of relaying to the Jedi that he captured a council member. Hell, he could've tortured Koth and gotten valuable information out of him instead of showing off the size of his non-existent dick.
He should have killed the night sisters with a massive orbital bombardment instead of up close (though he did look badass as he killed them).
The invasion of Kamino was actually a very good example of Grievous' tactical ability and if he had more firepower, he undoubtedly would have won.
With all of that said, Grievous is skilled, but he needed something more. If all of his b1 battle droids were replaced with commando droids, he would have steamrolled the Republic.
