Game 5719271

I recently beat a 1900 player (his rating dropped a bit after I beat him) in style. I thought I was really stuffed when He played the French defence as I absolutely HATE the french defense and constantly lose to it yet I managed to force a resignation within 15 moves. So I was wondering what everyone elses highest rated victories were. Which games were you the huge underdog but came out on top?

My top 3 games Game 4446698 Game 5554023 and Game 3363092(The last one doesn't really count, because I won it when he was rated 1400 or something, but the game looks much more impressive now😵)

The highest rated player I nicked for a full point was 2016 (USCF) back in 1984. It was an OTB game at the Seattle Chess Club. The guy's name was Abelnour-Ziad. This 84 move gem took over 5 hours. I'm afraid I don't have the game anymore, but it was a real thrill. (I wish I could play like that everytime!)😏

Both me vs. Basman and the people at my club vs. Nunn were in simultaneous displays.

But leaving that information off makes it more impressive 😉

I think my highest beat so far is an finnish IM rated about 2400. Funniest thing is that in the tournament where I beat him, he had 100% score so far (I think 7/7 or something). And then he was paired against me, unfortunately for him.
