My stronger opponent OTB was GM Jaacob Murey. It was the first round of a 2h KO tournament.
He played 1.c4 e5 2.Nf3 and crushed me very easily, using 12mins for the whole game (1h45 for me). He thought about 15s when I left the book and about 1min a few moves later to choose a plan. Then he just build an irresistible attack against my king. I saw it coming but was unable to do anything against it.
He was very nice during the analysis and showed me some ideas in the opening. When I reviewed the game later with my then chess teacher, he told me : "you played well, but he [the GM] has probably played the variation 500 times in blitz games, so you stand at a disadvantage here".
My stronger opponent in a simultaneous display was GM Ivanchuk.
Do you remember who was your opponent with the highest/lowest ELO you ever played against? and did you won?
Mi highest rated opponent was a guy in my first OTB tournament, he had an FIDE ELO of 2132. I was white and started with 1.e4 he played the Caro-Kann. The game was fairly balanced until I made a blunder and lost a piece.
My lowest rated opponent is a guy whose in another chess site his ELO is 888 and he is currently playing black and so far our game goes: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Bd6? 2.d4.
What about you?
