Everyone loves an underdog story, but chess is brutal as no amount of luck can beat skill. Or can it? Well, I certainly did get my fair share of luck and managed to beat a 2100 TWICE!!! in Sunday's chess.com India Bullet Arena Tournament, checkmating him twice, so here are the games! This game gave me an accuracy of 92% and a rating performance of 2250, which is for sure my highest estimated elo yet. My opponent's estimated elo was 1850 but I feel he made many blunders due to exhaustion as he played 74 bullet games in 2 hours. However, by the end of the tournament very few people were playing and I got a chance to beat him again and this win was way more satisfying! Of course, I played him 7 times and lost 5 times in this tournament, but still, let me gloat a little bit all right? Let's hope this is a sign of actual improvement and not just a fluke. Flukes don't happen twice!

Perhaps the problem has been fixed by the time you see this message, but: - The deadline for applications was said to be Tuesday the 9th, when Tuesday is actually the 10th. Further, the applications were closed on the 8th. Which date did you mean? - More immediately relevant: The information says the simul will happen on Friday the 12th. Friday is not the 12th, it's the 13th. So, does the simul happen on Friday, or does it happen on Thursday the 12th? I live in the German time zone, so I know this is not an International Date Line issue.
