You've probably lost to a gambit, that's just false.
Lighten up .It's a quote somebody made about gambits and can't remember who said it. It's supposed to satirical, not serious...or I assume. One point, "lost game" is a game that is lost if both players play perfectly. So, yes, one can lose a "won game" and win a " lost game". Another point, I love playing gambits, and been known to win sometimes.

I played Tal back in 1988 at the World Open in Saint John.
Does that mean that I must be a GM?

The tournament was not the World Open;It was the Saint John Open. If you played Tal then, it appears you are either an IM or a GM

It was called the World Chess Festival.
It included the World Blitz Championship, and one stage of the Candidates Matches. I recall that Yusupov got eliminated, and then took off all his clothes and ran around his hotel until he was caught and "pacified". The Festival also included two Open events and several simuls.
OH COME ON DON'T LEAVE US HANGING!!
