i defeated a 2000+ opponent XD

@JushBJJ2 as it is obvious from my rating, I'm not a very good player. So it doesn't make any sense to laugh on my lost games.
I don t agree that only rated games should be taken seriously, it s simply not true at all. I usually play unrated games and I am always trying to win, on the other hand you can meet a player who is trying to lose some rating so that he can enter a tournament with rating restrictions, I believe they are called sandbaggers. Anyways judging by the logic that only rating games count as win we should be applauding hagrad for his fool s mate in a bullet game which happened to be rated over a much tougher victory in rapid game which was unrated, that s simply nonsense.
It's not that you don't play your best in unrated games and you are not trying to win. You play unrated games when you are tired, distracted on a bad computer etc. You try unsound sacrifices in strange positions to see what happens.

It's not nonsense and besides people make blunders at all levels. It's just game of blunders.
I believe that s individual and I would argue that this certainly wasn t the case. The most likely reason why this concrete game was unrated was huge rating difference, in other words there was nothing to gain from winning while lot of rating points would go away in case of a loss so playing unrated made perfect sense.
@PM797 Good job if no engine was used on the win. Keep it up, and your rating will be going up.

@rickrenegade I usually play unrated games because I don't care about my rating. It's just some number. I play chess for the chess, not for some rating points.
You used an engine PM, but as it's a casual game, and if the other person agrees of course, then it's fine!
i didnt use any engine
@StormBaron3
its the problem with you players, u think every low rated player doesnt have brain to defeat a higher level player.
@PM797 The fact that people are suggesting that you have used an engine is the best flattery you could possibly get.
