You and me both buddy. I can hold my own for a bit longer, but I've seen my opponents games and he is very good, certainly one of the better rating I have played against.

Don't ever judge someone by their rating, as long as they are class player, they have a slim chance of playing perfect, so an opening could come your way for a win. For example, this weekend I was in a tournament, and in the 3rd round I had to play someone 250 rating points higher then me...and he played like a patzer...game went like this if you want to play through it, I was white:
1. e4 e5
2.Nf3 Nc6
3.Bb5 d6
4.d4 Bd7
5.0-0 a6
6.BxN BxB
7.pxe5 Bxe4
8.Rel Bf5?
9.exd6+ Be6
10.dxc7 Qxc7
11.Ng5 Rd8
12.NxB RxQ??
13.NxQ++ Kd7
14.RxR+ KxN
15.Bf4+ Kc6
16.Rd8 and black resigned in 8 more moves....whole game was 15 minutes, was the quickest tournament game I ever played..makes it kinda funny since black is a president of some chess club.....just goes to show you can't judge someone by a rating 😛
