Scottrf
I simply wanted to know to what extent he had outside aids.
There's an answer for that.
1st post. 2nd sentence.
No. It doesn't say there that's all he used.
I'm new to chess and playing games on this site, I don't know what is used/permitted or if this was even a game on this site. For all I knew it could be a game where they are allowed computer analysis, I've heard of them.
I could have put it in a better way, and apologies to the TS for derailing the thread, and congrats on the achievement.

@Scottrf: No outside assistance was used. I implemented a database, found similar positions, and worked on the game for a long time. My main advantage came from Rakhmanator's evident blunder, which took me only seconds to refute.
Database is for openings, like game explorer?
Good job.
@Scottrf: Yes, it is. Some other online databases like 365Chess and professional databases like Chessbase have many more games than the game explorer, though.
