Here's my only win over a GM - a 3 minute blitz game against the now late GM Alexs Wojtkiewicz on US Chess Live a couple years back. I was most proud of how I played before Wojo blundered near the end, handing me the win.

I still managed to make a huge blunder in the game, which nearly cost me the win. Can you spot it?

i don't really know what happened:
Game 1602431
here is my proudest game Game 2288086
maybe he underestimated me and handed the game to me on a silver plate, but id rather think of me displaying cunning and brilliance Kasparov himself would die for 😛
Originally posted by mazziewagabout the only thing i knew for sure about the game was that it was a draw at the end - my end game is not so shabby ... i was surprised how i survived the opening then amazed how i survived the middle game.

13.Nf4 is probably the best move I played in my life. Will never forget the joy I felt after I found there's no refutation (is there??).

is
Nf4 is a beautiful move - followed by awsomely powerful attack (i would like to also see your response to 13 NxBc4).
however the real strength lies in the preparation before Nf4
- and it is incredible ... your king is on your attack file as a target just moments before your dominance!!!!!
Originally posted by anthiasI seriously doubt there's a real refutation, but black's best way to continue is probably Nxc4 (avoiding the mating nets by allowing the king to escape to g8) after which probably comes Rxe7 Rxe7, winning the queen for a bishop and rook.

I have a few, but the following are my favourites:
Game 1327321
This game features a lot of Knight moves as my KN wanders around quite a bit before breaking through my opponent's position. In the end, I saw that I could simply give up the Knight and win.
Game 1568244
Despite chosing the sharp Sicilian Najdorf, my opponent played a little passively in the beginning, allowing me to get a winning attack on the K-side. He got some nice moves in towards the end; but it was too little too late.
The next game is my absolute favourite:
Game 741205
I was still a 1400-something when this game was played. Another sharp Najdorf game. This time, I castled long and my opponent got a great attack going against my King. On move 22 I saw that my King's defences would collapse if I tried to keep my Nc3, so I decided to let it fall and go on the counter-attack on g8 instead. In the end, my opponent was forced to make perpetual checks.

Sorry, this is in reply to anthias.
Actually now that I look at it again, I think it was his first move that doomed him... I don't know why anyone would play that... I always scold my brother when he makes early pawn moves on the f-file...
Originally posted by ChessJesterI believe it's called the Dutch Defence or something. Not very sound but sometimes played at a reasonably high level.
