This is a game I just played against WGM Martica Fierro. I had 5min and she had 3 minutes I believe. It is the first time I have ever played a titled player so I'm very excited and have not analyzed the game yet. I did not pay much attention to the clock and tried to make solid moves. When she had the two bishops near the end I was worried but I eventually found places to put my Knights. She lost on time at the end.

Well, it looks like (unfortunately for her) that she hung a piece instead of playing 39... Bxd4.  But let me get this straight--you just beat someone whose rating was almost twice yours?--and you won the first game you ever played against a titled player?!  Pretty good, I'd say!

well my 5 minute rating is not that accurate at the moment and remember she had less time then me. if I remember correctly at around move 38 she had around 10 seconds and I had around 40 seconds. I should have moved my king to d3 on move 29.

I think the reason my rating is at 1400 is because i don't know my opening very well, but my middle game and end game are better. the people i play in 5 minute games know there openings much better then me so i start off bad. 

Thank you for the comments

Congratulations on your win vs.  Martha Fierro!  Whatever the circumstances, it's something to be proud of.

 Thanks! Im sure that the next time I meet her she will get her revenge. all she has to do is challenge me to a regular 5 minute or 15 minute game and i will surely lose haha.
