I drawed Kwgoodwin just recently, he (like so many high rated players) stuck too close to the date base games, and he couldnt win
PS. Drawed isn't a word.

He's in prestigious company then.

Also that would still fail to make the sentence correct.
"I draw kwgoodwin"
Also, you were not stating wether the sentence was correct, you were stating that the word did not exist and. as I have shown, it clearly does.

If a higher rated player goes to pieces once out of a database I must query the validity of his rating. Of course, this could be a one off as we all have bad days, get drunk or tired and make moves when we really know we should not.
All 1600 players should win an ocassional game against a 2000 player and lose ocassionally to a 1200. In fact a 1600 should probably score a win or 2 draws against a 2200 player over 100 games but would do better than that if they refrained from moving too quickly or whilst tired, drunk, etc and took advantage when the 2200 was. I know I have come back after a night out and made a few moves only to regret them in the morning - in fact last night I did this against a 1400 player and ruined a "won" position.
