This was an actual USCF rated game I played against an adult. At the time, I was rated around 1600 and my opponent was 1750.

winning so far (by the way, ECO N58 always wins, especially in round 121 of a tournament)with 5 moves!!

For people who don't know, ECO only goes up to E99.

It was a disastrous tournament after that game. I went 0-5, losing to a player rated 900 in the last round. The good part was that the event was right after my first date with my wife. By blaming her for that 0-5, I get to play in the Collyer Memorial every year. In 2012, I placed second behind IM John Donaldson, and pocketed $250. This year I tied for fifth.

Oh yeah, a real classic. lol  Then I had to walk around this fake lake at the rec center where we were playing for about 4 hours waiting for the next round to start up (going back in the place every once in a while to see how my buddies were doing with their actual full-length games).

off topic  but do you think white is lost but he can save the game with an astounding tactical shot but i cant say if its a draw or a win for white

I saw it on the cover of Seirawan's Winning Chess Strategies in 1996, and have played it several dozen times since.
