I would be embarrassed to show a game that I played so badly, although I have played many games that badly.
I would not brag about beating someone only 200 points higher.
I've beaten masters OTB 90/d5.
#7 well done then! It's good to have a positive score against someone beating an IM ;)
#11 No reason to bash the guy. And lol @ "only" 200 points? Good thing that you've beaten masters on the board, nonetheless it should be quite easy to understand one can be proud about it, even if only for a bullet game. Chill out ;)
I once beat a NM in correspondence chess (By resignation, not time :)
Title is misleading, it should be: IM beating himself
uh...
A win is a win, and more against an IM, in fact is my next goal, I've beaten NM's and FM's but not IM's or GM's, well done!!!
I find it interesting that everyone just wants to talk either about how:
1. Insignificant this win is
2. How much better of a win they've had before than the OP.
3. Actually congratulate the guy, and give him a symbolic thumbs up/like.
@18 and then there is the 'metadiscussion' ;)
