Humiliating a 2200

My first win against a high ranker

Hi,

There are several possible ways one can write a post to brag about a win. Some of them do not require being a *douchebag* to the losing player, as you are here. Don't be that kind of person.

You had a loss with a 1500 in classical, that's about the same rating difference with the guy here. How would you think with a "beaten an idiot 1800" post in a forum? Think twice before posting.

Nice game, BTW

Hi, do you have an explanation for your recent successes ?
You are doing very well against 2000+ lately.
Been doing tactics puzzles or studying chess books ?

@kiseiju

I didn't mean to be rude. It's "humiliating" because I am considerably lower ranked than my opponent. After all, it is just chess. Personally I wouldn't care if someone posted "beaten an idiot 1800" about me, I would probably laugh.

@achja

I am NOT really doing that well against 2000+ players. I have only played 3 2000+ players and I have won only one of them. Look:

I might be an old git but my eyes are not in speedy decay yet :-)

That is 5 recent 2000+ wins for you.

@achja

I guess your right.

A huge upset!

@stoptryingsodamnhard With your rating, you need to beat 2500+ rated top 10 classical players. You are not far enough from 2200 to count the win as "humiliating a 2200".
