Very nice!!
Intriguing Endgame, disappointed but oh well
Sort:
Urgh I know that feeling, to be confident that you're going to win all game, already thinking about how many rating points until your rating goal for the day after this win, only to mess up a completely winning king-pawn endgame and emerge with a draw... then, in my case, tilt into oblivion and never have said rating goal in sight again.
Oh well, you're still higher-rated than me, I guess that's some consolation XD
i mean eh i won the event with 6.5/7 in the USCF members only club on chess.com beating 2 masters and was close to beating a 3rd one which was this one but eh its alright i gained rating
this time i won like over 20 points instead of the last time i got first, only gaining 1 point in total

Very impressive game regardless drawing a titled player (even if you had the win there)

5-10% of the players at this level are titled lol. He actually beat two titled players before this game. Drawing a titled player is not impressive.

Uh yeah it is? i dont care about whether 10% of players at that level are titled which seems like a random stat but drawing or beating a titled player is always impressive when your untitled yourself

I disagree. The mere fact that they are titled says nothing about their online blitz strength; their actual blitz rating tells a much more comprehensive story. And the NM in question's blitz rating was lower than Kowarenai's, so a draw was always going to be a mildly disappointing result for him.
Tell me this: about a month ago I played 6 bullet games against WCM Alexandra Prado; she was rated 700 points below me. Would it be impressive for me to have drawn her? If so, why?
i mean at this point once your just past 2000 range it feels like another day in the office, you win some random games and then you lose some random games for me its just normal routine. this game i played a couple of hours ago on my Wizard account playing a CM twice and despite mouse-slipping i still beat him with a dubious opening, at my level its just very relative.

Well that not a strong move anyway
couldn't flag him in the end though that's disrespectful considering he is a NM and yeah idk i was winning throughout the whole game but then misplayed the ending. apparently the way to win in the end was pushing c7 and then outflank rosenberg which i completely missed badly.
super annoying but eh oh well he held, maybe next time i did win the tournament but a bit sad
