 This was the game, and well I had a lost position but I did flag NM Sam Copeland and that counts as a win. So I have beaten a titled player atleast once. How many people could say that eh?

Hmm pretty suspicious. Can a mod check all his games before we start the celebrations?

the weird part is that the NM played so slow

move 33 from black giving up his rook for a Knight doesn't make sense either. instead he should've taken the a pawn

3 min blitz, really?
Avatar of Grandmaster2B

yes. @MintWarrior I checked his game archives and it was there.

The end was already in serious time trouble. For example, after 44. Kxa4 the f-pawn is free to go but black had just a few seconds left then.

Young-Pappy and  tipish, do you realize the NM was black?

Hi guys great of you to weigh in. Its a legit game. Why would I post a fake game here for the whole world to see.

 

The opponent was in clock pressure and streaming I will put that out there for when you are streaming you talk to the chat and stuff and that kind of slows you down. So all that was there, plus he still got a winning position.

 

All that being said, I was faster and hung in there for long enough to flag him. Its still a legit win. # or flag they all count as wins.

I have a crazyhouse win against WIM @Makalexahttps://www.chess.com/live/game/1846053863

I also have a daily win against a Brazilian NM who abandoned the game just out of the opening.  That doesn't really count.

Actually here is the stream - https://www.twitch.tv/videos/246882237 It starts at around 51 min 50 secs into the stream.

 

I had not seen the video till now. Actually he had been playing 3I2 upto that point and when he accepted the challenge it was 3I0 not 3I2. However thats his fault for not knowing what challenge he was accepting.

 

Its not like I hid some facts from him or something like that. When you get a challenge it clearly shows what the clock controls are. Also there was no 3I2 challenges only message or something on the stream. Just joined and sent him a challenge. Just pointing all this out as people are quick to point fingers and sooner or later someone will accuse me of deceiving him or something.

 

Also to his credit, he does accept that it was his fault for not paying attention to the challenge clock controls.

 

So after all that, and I know there are a lot of 'reasons', but the long and short of it is that I did win against a titled player. grin.png
