the important question (which it appears you missed) is this one:

did black play like a 1500?

and more to the point as rating difference determines the probability of winning if you play a lot of 1500 opponents sooner or later you draw or lose. Then you lose loads of rating points.

Besides I have played plenty of 2000 plus players winning or drawing my fair share.

It bothers me when people find fault without bothering to ascertain true facts first.

Its just over 300 points based on their best ratings.

It doesn't bother me at all that the great zoot can get to 1900 plus by claiming lots of timeout wins against lowly rated opposition.

After all look at all the bad moves they made from move 1.

Those are some of my first 20 games I played. Everyone (including those too drunk to notice) starts with a 1200 rating.
