There was this young man who won the Championship of the Kankakee Illinois Chess Club. He won with a perfect record as he beat everybody.
He thought he was pretty good but learned I was good also and wanted to play me some formal, timed, games. So we set up a 10 game match.
Every Saturday he would come to my home [I would provide refreshments and a nice environment]
We used my old chess clock. 40 moves in the first 2 hours.
He came every Saturday for ten different games. I won all ten games.
It can be overall record (e.g. 17W 2L 5D) or maybe a result in a small match (e.g. 8 blitz games and you won 6.5-1.5) or something like that.
