catnap642 WON the game against a much higher rated opponent.
To me that is an upset and I bet the higher rated player is kicking himself for falling for the simple trap.

C'mon AdamF. You are 8 hours behind. Thread 144934
Sharpen up and get with the program.
This does indeed look like the first checkmate but keep looking.

A sleeper, I thought so. Chess players don't sleep. Sleep is for wimps.
Can you please keep an eye on sections 1-9 looking for any finished games.
Look for a cute finish or a howling blunder.
Need another 8 volunteers. I'll do 50-59.
