All the time on Playchess. Almost all the King rank players (indicating a GM that has been confirmed by Playchess) do not disclose which GM they are.

Maybe he was stoned?
If brilliant you would not have played 13. Re1?!
You played OK but he played particularly dreadful and you capitalised on it well. I can't tell you how many dreadful moves he made as there are too many of them but clearly 19. ... NXd5 was blacks crowning glory.
Could you have done as well with KGA against a player that was not drunk? Try User 240601, User 7277 or even User 219403 or another member of Clan 24529

Weaker players note how a knight that is not supported by a king cannot stop 2 pawns.

ohh lots (after 1000+ games, I hope so). What's appalling is that I can't do it more often...
sorted by opponent, a mix of wins and draws. I think that all of these people have overall winning records against me.

Many more agaist people who are better than me, but w/o the large rating gap.

Originally posted by zebanoThis just proves the point. If you play enough games you will regularly beat players rated above you. 25% of the time in fact for 200 rating points.

However, I am prepared to bet you can find just as many embarassing losses to players rated below you.
