Game 1950764
my opponent accused me of using an engine. I dont think an engine would use that opening. I think people have their good days and bad days.

I played a guy who was rated >1000 and he beat me, i was sure there must've been foulplay as i can beat 1450+ on a good day. I guess there's not much you can do but maybe accept that you just dropped the ball that time.
I'm playing the guy in a clan challenge now, just to see what happens. If i don't win 2 for 2, i'm giving up chess forever 🙁

Originally posted by wormwoodI disagree. Players rated above 1600 make blunders (eg Game 2455246 where my opponent was graded above 1900 at the time), they just don't make them as oftem. Heck, even 2800+ GMs miss mates in 1 at times.
