I played U.S. champion Hikaru Nakamura at a simul in Indianapolis. I lost. Badly. And I'm gonna be attending the U.S. championship this year, so that'll add another 24+ to the list Tongue out

We've got a few IM's in the club and some FM's aswell, do they count?

If so, I've played an IM a few times in the club blitz, he crushed me, but he was extremely nice, pointing out very friendly tips after each game, a great fella.

Oh, and I've played FM Eric Schiller twice on here. He wrote the first chess book I ever read (First Chess Openings).

I met a guy on the subway who swore he was the master of the universe.  Other than that . . . no.

 Great club! I want to move to Sweden. I had a physical therapist who was from the southern part of Sweden, and she got her first job in northern Sweden. She said everyone could tell where she was from by the way she talked. I didn't know there were dialects in Sweden. I played Yuri Shulman in a simul. He crushed me.
