The opening was the Ruy Lopez Cozio variation I believe
A draw I had against a Grand Master on here

In all honesty, I got scared. Lol. I got scared and began overthinking. That is when I offered the draw. When I ran the analysis, it said I could have checkmated him in 5 moves when he moved his king to f8

Those at the top also know how to use those secrets and use the skills they have developed to be able to succeed

The law is a prime example
there isn't such a thing called secret in chess play. if there were really secrets to it you wouldn't see grand masters spending their whole lifetime to become gms, it really takes many years to acquire good skills to get you in there. its all about patience dedication and hard work

Of course it takes time. All things in life take time and knowledge. Especially in everyday life.

Well dedication and hard work studying in chess is also good and will eventually help you improve
Well done.
I could not find any player with name David Markosyan at FIDE site. There are some players with name Markosyan but none of them have very high rating. But yes your game was good.

Thank you. Try looking him up on here and see if maybe you could find something there.
This chess game is a game I played against a Grand Master ranked chess player called David Morkosyan. Rating of 2399 and from Russia. He is a very strong chess player and it was an honor to play him. After a huge blunder I made in the middle game, I managed to turn it around and wind up getting a draw against him. Could I have won? Maybe. We'll see.
