I beat a grandmaster. I can not believe it.



I just can not believe it. Obviously this grandmaster would thrash me every single day, but in this one in a million chance he made a blunder, and I capitalised. What I'm proud of is many grandmasters loose there queen trying out certain traps with lower rated players online, but they are ruthless after that and it is still difficult to win against them even with a queen up. I somehow managed to maintain my cool. No disrespect to the grandmaster by posting this game he is an awesome player and I wish him best, I'm just posting this for the excitement.
Well done! Looked like a difficult match but you were taking your chances! One thing i dont understand is why he quit, he wasnt losing by that much.
the grandmaster just mouse slipped I feel sad for him btw well-played u converted flawlessly!
That's a great achievement and certainly a goal of mine. I wonder how I would feel if I won by mouse slip...I would probably feel great.
@Georgii_Surov_Suslik : Thanks for the encouragement. Much appreciated.

@GGTIME99 : Thanks for the appreciation. Yes you are correct it was a difficult match, as the famous lasker words "The Hardest Game to Win is a Won Game". The reason he resigned was it was a 5 min blitz game and he berseked me. He only had 4 seconds left when he resigned and I had about 2 minutes. I know he would have thrashed me if he had the full 5 minutes, but then again I didn't ask him to berserk me, so it goes both ways.

@Mahith1708 : I don't think it was a mouse slip at all, he wanted me to take the queen and recapture my queen with rook and improve the position. Anyway thanks for the appreciation.
@Itsmidnight : Thanks. However I personally feel it was not a mouse slip, but I know it would be debatable. Anyway I'm happy I was able to keep my cool, as lasker said "The Hardest Game to Win is a Won Game"
Short time limit let untitled players have a higher chance to beat a titled player.
