Today I got +7 after drawing a game with black pieces, then I noticed that my opponent was a 2700 player. That was like a win against slightly lower rated player. Here is the game, I played Sicilian dragon and my opponent played Maroczy bind.

Wow. You managed to hold on against the extra pawn in the long endgame.

 

I would have capitulated after defending for ten moves.

@eric0022, I gave up that pawn intentionally to simplify the endgame. My opponent either couldn’t push the last pawn or I was going to capture it with bishop. It was a safe endgame. Otherwise if I was going to deal with multiple pawns, then he could have tricked me as he had more time. When I checked with engine noticed that I had a much simpler drawing option.
