Which is yours??? Leave a comment,

This was my first win in a rated OTB tournament. Pretty special to me! Not the best game I’ve played by any stretch, but it showed me I could beat people in person :)

This one, from a rated country vs country match (Malaysia vs Canada). My opponent (slightly higher rated than me at the time; 2194 to 2189) started attacking me right out of the opening. I was under tremendous pressure, but parried each threat and eventually turned the tables with a counter-attack.

The whole game reminded me of a duel with rapiers at the brink of a cliff... the first person to slip was going to be doomed.

I deliver a beautiful mate yesterday. First time I have this type of mate.

Awhile back I took a very high rated players eye out the back of his head.. God rest his soul
