Game 1456758 The power of research won me this game. White needed to play 18. Qa3N (yes I was still in book at this point) to remain in the game. [18. Qa3 Qxa3+ 19. Kxa3 Nxc3 and white mu ...[text shortened]... he castled king.
Just to put things in perspective my record against kwgoodwin is +2 =5 -7.

There's just no way he's what he claims to be. A GM would never allow himself to be drawn by a guy rated over 500 points below him (at the time). Also, if he was a GM I'd expect him to be playing the top people on the site and beating them, and he doesn't appear to be doing either.
Regarding RECUVIC, i believe him. his profile doesnt say computers think sometimes better, he says "computers think faster-not better" or something, and he has lost games here shwing he isnt cheating and he is planning to strat playing higher rated players, but really, what top player on the site would want to play a GM who is still only rated 2100ish, knowing they could well lose, and probably draw (losing points still)? he is planning to play higher rated players aswel, he already does play them occasionally, he just thinks its unfair to rule out lower rated players. remember most of the top players on the site are good enough to be rated 2500 elo (or is it FIDE? -im not sure which) so being a GM is quite possible for many of them. so is it that unlikely he is?
