ICC Tournament "Dos Hermanos VIII"
The "Dos Hermanos VIII" tournament on ICC has drawn such luminaries as Magnus Carlsen, the boy wonder from Norway, and Alex Lenderman, of "Kings of New York" fame. I'm just a humble 1100 rated blitz player, but that doesn't mean I'm immune to passing flashes of semi-brilliance...
Here is a hard-fought game that earned the bitter ire of my 1700+ opponent after he stuck his knight in the wrong spot:
The surprise checkmate at the end earned me a stream of accusations of cheating that I found irritating yet amusing and complimentary. I was rated 600 points below him, so that might have precipitated the vitriol. Too bad some people don't "Win with grace and lose with dignity" as Susan Polgar so aptly puts it.
