I am fortunate enough to attend a university where we have a professor with an ELO of 2202. I am setting up a game with the man soo, maybe next week. Any thoughts on what I can look for in our game that will help me improve, or any thoughts to have going in?

1. Make sure that you keep an accurate score.

2. Be sure to embroil your opponent in a lengthly post mortem. Pick his brain by asking concise questions.

Played some blitz against him the other day. Man, it's something else. Effortlessly repels my attacks, only had to pause for a moment to consider the best course of action once or twice. We'll be playing some longer games on Thursday!
