Have you ever managed to beat a titled player?

I beat a NM in blitz OTB. Drew a FM over the board too. That’s my best. Never even played a GM.
Just for fun and only otb swiss tournament games:

FM - 0 4 4
IM - 2 2 0
GM - 0 1 1

And now the not so funny fact: One IM continues playing chess after a stroke. He offered draw in a better position and I admire him for his games in the 70th and 80th, when he played some really great ones! One IM was going to the hospital for a life keeping surgery after the tournament and I will never tell to be any better in chess. So if you win a titled player, I think it is fine to be happy, but you should stay humble as you don't know the background.
