    Congratulations! What were the time controls? Also, how did you wrangle a match with him?

    The time control was 3min +2. I was just lucky i guess, he had just joined the site and was building a rating (still provisional when we played). I just happened to send a challenge at the right time and we were paired. I had chances to win other games as well, i won his queen in this one but then misplayed it as i was short on time..
