Thanks man! Haha yeah, it was a pretty sweet game. That game was played during this ridiculous hot streak I had when I broke into the top 20 standard TC players there. My high standard rating on ICC is somewhere around 2360 I think. Of course, a lot of people were watching that game, and you then have to deal with being called a computer by 50 morons who have idea what they're talking about. 😀 It was worth it though.

actually i went to peru and lost the or in my name....i'm back in ireland now and still looking for it....i'm getting undated daily by people in lima and huaraz but its whereabouts remains unknown.
I beat a master (about USCF 2200) a few months ago, and I drew that same master about a month ago (then 2220 USCF) and drew another master about 7 months ago (2246 USCF) and drew a master last year. Of course, I also lost to a 1200 USCF when I was up a rook 🙁 (my opponent was trying to get me in perpetual check, and 5 out of 6 moves were ok for me, and I chose the 6th one which walked into a mate in 1...)
my rating was about 1500 then but to be fair neither of us had a clue how to play the opening.
i've also beaten demonseed OTB but he was he was on a 48 hour bender and was out of it.
needless to say his performance was inadequate.
At least the first 5 white moves are book (it's as much as I have memorized), and considering that it's a thematic to begin with, that's a lot of book moves. Nice win, the point from blacks side is to just get active counterplay. Playing d4 is key, nicely done.
Who is the highest rated opponent you have beat...
