what hapened to the 1400 guy who beat 2400 player

does anyone know what happened to that thread about the 1400 guy who beat the 2400 player with the black pieces? i am just asking because its quite possible that i dreamed it, it was very very late 4 am i think, but i am sure i looked at a game beginning with the kings gambit. Did I dream it, am I going insane, any confirmation of the reality or otherwise would be appreciated.

No you must have been dreaming, he lost that game

Game 6538834

Try this. Same tourney - but not in real life 🙄

Game 6538838

Ya must be referring to the 'Someone Explain' thread that mysteriously disappeared overnight!
I meself had responded: "Interesting. Either complete blindness on the part of the master for several moves, which can happen (see M. Carlsen's total blindness in his game against David Howell in the London Classic two weeks ago) or DanVM was essentially sandbagging, but I don't know why he would do that.
They's no money in this thing we call RHP.

Meanwhile, 1400-rated players do that all the time, so it was perfectly possible for MrHand to discover the mate several moves late, and then mercifully execute it.

IMHO. Now if that kind of thing is a trend from DanVM..."

When I woke up to see some followup, it were gone. Pff! Just lie that. 😕

I missed a mate in one, make a huge deal out of it 😀 Tell me it never happened to any of you. God damn jackals.

Folks --

I'm on DanVM's side. It can happen at any time to anyone. Like I said, it happened to the highest-rated player in the land just a few weeks ago. There are several videos extant about that game. Check youtube or ICC. DanVM is a good guy. Not the person anyone should be hassling.
