I beat an International Master (IM)

Sort:
rowsweep

I played an International master in blitz chess and beat him.  Although I won on time, I think this just proves how fake online chess ratings truly are.  Also, what does IM or GM really mean?  I think it means that they are really good at certain chess positions or have been able to memorize a certain opening 30 moves deep.  But if you get them into a line they have not seen, then they just start eating up the time or start playing like a monkey or chimpanzee.  

I printed out this game and hung it on my refrigerator in my kitchen.  Also, i told my next neighbor.  He is an old man but he did not care very much because he doesn't play chess.  He told me advice that I should not waste my time playing chess.  But instead do something with my time that teaches me something that can help me with my job or help improve society. 

Let this game be a lesson not underestimate your opponent's rating.  I used my secret weapon against him which is called the Fried Fox Attack.

Enjoy.

  • A winner will enjoy chess games for the skill, a whiner will enjoy chess games for the result.
  • A winner will not be scared to be themselves, a whiner will use a fake profile.
  • A winner will use houdini, a whiner will use fritz.

muahahaha.

What a troll.. You can't win on time. Its a draw in the final position even if this was real.

He totally killed you ! And it does not count as a win unless you still have a major peace or a pawn.👎

It does not even look like it was a master would make those moves . Give me his name and I might believe you.👺

This game is a draw not a win. Read the rules and you'll understand.

Well, she doesn't know the difference from a win and draw

She is dense can't tell the difference from a win to a draw. She needs to review the basics in chess.

a win is a win. this game played in a tournament on another website. all you people who call me trolls are so dumb because you have nothing else positive to say.

Laughing haha not sure if this is a troll thread or not but just in case it's serious I'll give a serious response. People with those titles don't just memorize a lot but have a deep understanding of the game. And even if this game would be a real thing, then this 1 person doesn't represent all and every single IM, ''then they just...''

It's by definition not a win, though. If you have insufficient material left to mate, you can only draw when your opponent runs out of time.

Maybe that website is different, but that's like saying stalemate is the same as checkmate because some obscure site counts it that way, or that it's ok for pawns to move backwards in chess because some site plays with those rules and calls it "chess."

I do agree with you that a win is a win, actually. Time wins are totally legitimate. But in this case, even if your opponent ran out of time, this is not a time win because you only had a king left. It's a draw. A draw is still a great result though :) It doesn't make you an IM, but sure it's something to be happy about :)

"I printed out this game and hung it on my refrigerator in my kitchen."

Um, well, maybe not quite that happy though :D

He probably looked at your avatar of Blair White's girlfriend. Hoped it was you and let you flag him.

LOL I was thinking the same thing the first time I saw "RowSweeps" profile. Total 'fake girl account' nonsense. I thought well, maybe this guy cropped a party photo of his girlfriend & used it as his avatar, just, to throw off whoever he's playing, or whatever. I don't know why people who are rated highly would even need to do that, but no matter. 

Google Image. Reverse search, its a bitch. It will get to the bottom of anyone's lies. Nice job, Scrap-O-Matic.Lol

Look, you can't even argue because your just so mad that people are proving you wrong by facts and reasons.

Let me post this one last time in shiny colors:

IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER PIECES ON THE BOARD EXCEPT YOUR KING AND WIN ON TIME, ITS A DRAW.

TheElementalMaster

But yes, time wins are totally legit. So it's an "win", ok.

i have learned that people lose too

when you lose, all you have to do is smile and say "wakah wakah wakah!"

So you are masquerading as Vlora Qosja now?

I don't think anyone would play f3 on the first move and would want the game taken seriously.
