My first GM scalp!
Today is a great day for me, for I have finally beat a GM in an even game.
It was a 5 0 (5 minute game with 0 second increment) game. I was rated about 2000 at the time in the 5-minute ICC pool (5-minute pool is VERY hard to get
rating in, even the best gm's can only be around 2600). He was rated 2300.
To top it off, the GM I beat is one I know of, Eugene Torre, who you may
know from the Bobby Fischer radio interviews (he arranged to get bobby on the
air).
True, it was a win on time, but you can see I hung in there and was playing
faster than him so I ended up with a win. Next time I'll post when I beat a gm
in the position! ^_^
And for your enjoyment, here is the game. At the end of the game i had 10 seconds remaining. You can see I was very lucky to not get mated! A very
close game.
