Did you just beat Nepo in blitz? ... ?!?!
Wow. I tip my hat to you. How's the OTB climb going? That NM certificate seems like it's calling you ...

I did. I think it's very late for Nepo and he fell for an opening idea that I just looked at, so unlucky for him. Also, beating Bibisara was hard too, she is a former world blitz champ!
One day I'll get NM, once people start showing up in Salem and Roanoke, Virginia to play. Otherwise, I'll be untitled for a while.

I've been 2900 before (peak 2960 something), but I didn't hit 2900 recently until last night
So a few days ago, I got the opportunity to play former women's world blitz champion Bibisara Assaubayeva, and I encountered the following line:
I didn't capitalize in the opening after O-O?, but analyzed the opening more and thought "well let's see if I get that again some time." Cue a few minutes ago:
Ngl I'm still shaking, it's not every day you get to play players of Nepomniachtchi's caliber. Hope this was instructive!
