This is the only time I've ever beaten a GM (or even really come close).  It was a 15-minute game on ICC:

And I eventually won, mating him on the 70th move with 2 queens (and 8 seconds left!).

Thanks, you guys!  I'm a little old to be thinking about further titles (47)--but what the heck, it was nice to have my 15 minutes of fame (or actually, I guess it was more like half an hour).
