I Just Beat MVL!

Um, Guys no offence, but a win like this in standard wouldn't be better?
Yeah, whoever thinks a win like this would be better in standard like this message!
Of course a victory in Standard would be better!
I beat him in Atomic Chess; Not as great a victory as standard would be but...
This Is Maxime Vachier-Lagrave!!!
And ? You’re just better than him. You should consider this win as a win vs a worst player, not a win vs a GM. I won many masters in atomic, and I’m not sharing these wins, as they were not better than me. The fact it was MVL doesn’t give to you a very good image, cause you won on atomic and you have a better rating (and probably level) than him in this variant. Now, please, stop talking about this game as a very good achievement : you did many errors in your game that a 1900 or 2000 atomic rated player could see.
I know I made many errors. (I don't play much Atomic nowadays)

MVL has played Atomic before- For example he's played Atomic against @Assios.
1. It's kinda amazing I got to play him at all - and play 3 games at that
2. I actually beat him twice

And btw, @King12-life - You were the one who in this topic called it "a very good achievement" Not me.
I'm happy to have beat him.
You’re happy, because you find this as a very good achievement. But it’s not a very good achievement, as it was in atomic. So you don’t need to be happy. Plus, the fact you won twice is completely useless. Imagine I play a GM who doesn’t know anything about atomic. I will win maybe 100 games in a row, but will I be happy after these wins ? No. You’ll say that MVL is 2100 rated, but it’s the same thing : his rating is marked, it’s not his real rating, he’s probably more 1800 or something like that. So stop being proud of two wins vs a worst player than you.
"So you don’t need to be happy. " Just to name one.
