Goodjob, it's always great to beat someone of higher rating. Though to me games like this one look more like your opponent shot them self in the foot than some brilliant strategical / tactical play. When 1 side plays normal moves as you did, and the other makes serious blunders things tend to only go one way regardless of ratings.
Side note: I wish 2200s played like that against me
Well played by black. Until 19 Be7?? black already had an advantage.
*casual*
True, I thought the same thing when I played this game, I wasn't sure what to think when they played 19 be7, maybe they were seeing ghosts. They even took the most obvious knight sacrifice and gave me a mate in 2, they definitely did shoot themselves in the foot. (maybe they haven't been playing for a few months. I know my skill level dropped after having to leave and rarely getting the opportunity to play chess for a few months.) Either that or they thought they played halfheartedly to be rude, because they thought they would win anyway. That's just speculation, anyway. @lurarose
Even then, if we played every move from move 13 just like Stockfish 8, onward it would have been a draw, with a knight and 2 pawns (passed pawns on the 2nd rank) for black and a queen with one pawn (not passed) for white.
