My first GM victory that wasn't a simul! And a 15 3 game nonetheless. I did some quick analysis and annotations, enjoy everyone! 😀 I know I did! It's best to look at this with any pgn viewer.

1. e4 e6 2. Nf3 d5 3. Nc3 {A silly line I like to play sometimes, trying to
coax Black into a not so good line, such as 4..d4.} Nf6 4. e5 Nfd7 5. d4 c5 6. dxc5 Nc6 7. Bf4 Nxc5 {I think the normal move here is 7..Bxc5, but this move is by no means bad.} 8. Bd3 Nxd3+ 9. cxd3 Be7 10. O-O Bd7 11. Re1 O-O {Both sides have developed fairly straightforwardly, with White overprotecting the strong e5 pawn. Next comes a howler!} 12. Qd2 $2 {A terrible oversight.} d4 13. Ne4 Qb6 {Black must not have wanted the weak dark squares resulting from the loss of his dark squared bishop, but surely it is correct to just grab the exchange!?} (13...Bb4 $1 14. Qe2 Bxe1 15. Rxe1 Qa5 $17) 14. a3 Rfd8 15. Bg5 $1 {White forces off the dark squared bishop, blacks good bishop. The loss of this bishop also leaves the kingside rather airy.....} Bxg5 16. Qxg5 $1 {This is the correct capture, bringing the queen into the fray, not fearing the loss of the b-pawn.} h6 (16... Qxb2 $2 17. Reb1 Qc2 18. Rxb7 $16) (16... Qc7 17. Nf6+ Kh8 18. Re4 $1$18 {and black literally has no defense to the coming attack!}) 17. Nf6+ $1 Kh8 18. Qh5 Be8 19. Ng5 $1 $18 Qc7 20. Nxe8 Rxe8 21. Nxf7+ Kg8 22. Nd6 Rf8 23. Rac1 Qe7 24. Re4 {Introducing the rook into the attack, but also allowing white to start the f-pawn rolling.} Rad8 25. f4 Na5 26. f5 exf5 27. Nxf5 Qe6 28. Rf1 {White is still winning, but I missed an instant killer!} (28. Nxg7 $1 Kxg7 29. Rg4+ Kh7 30. Rc7+ {The move I missed, and a crying shame too!}) 28... Rd7 29. Rg4 Rdf7 $2 30. Rxg7+ $1 Rxg7 31. Nxh6+ Kh7 32. Nf7+ {Black resigns} 1-0
This was the only game out of 5 that I won, although I was up a clear pawn with a crushing position in another but felt the need to donate a piece for no reason....😀
by seeing the ratings I can notice that the 4-1 result was somehow expected...I believe that in the end the rating were about the same as before the first game, isn't it ?
you seem to be a strong rapid chess player and the GM a somehow weak GM in rapid chess(weak GM compared to other GMs)
Am I right ?
Not completely. The longer the time control gets, the stronger I get for sure, as I tend to use up alot of time calculating variations that I deem interesting, and I like to play as sharp and as precisely as possible, but the guy I played, is #3 on ICC as far as standard ratings go. So he's no slouch. If it wasn't something like 1 O Clock in the morning when I was playing, the match would have been 3-2 him.

Whithout joking, I think longer times you(you is not especially you, but somehow all stronger players around) would have against a GM lesser chanches to get points you would have, as they are better trained for long games and their strategy is very strong...and less chances for tactical blunders...
Originally posted by vipiuI completely agree with you. Even though I am a terrible bullet player, I would have a better scoring percentage, simply because it would always be silly and I could just move faster, etc...As far as my RHP rating goes....well....with school it's hard to take RHP rather seriously. 😀
