I would describe myself as an average player, a chess enthusiast who occaisionally has produced some blitz brilliancies against much stronger players(>2600) / My rating vares from 1450-1650. Here is a short 2-0 Game played against WARGAMES on the playchess server. Some have suggested that this is Peter LEKO. If so I got very lucky. His Playchess Blitz rating at the time was 2743 .

Perhaps I was playing his dog/ wife who knows!? Certainly far from perfect play....but certainly my biggest scalp.
This strange blunder in the opening has been made by even the greatest!
