Crushed

 I defeated 1728 rated player in 25 moves. He played opening well but blundered queen on move 25.


PS: Is it possible to reach 1700+ rating with good opening prepration?

Lost?

 I defeated 1740 rated opponent. After 39...a3 I felt loosing and was almost tempted to resign.

Memorizing opening?

 My opponent left the game once he blundered checkmate on move 27. How can someone who played opening and middlegame so nicely made terrible blunder leading to checkmate in 3. Mere memorization of opening?

Quick win

 I defeated 1694 rated opponent in 12 moves with 10+5 time control. My clock didn't even go below 10 minutes.

1779 rated?

 How can 1779 rated opponent play 26 opening moves without even a single mistake and then commits back to back blunder? Usage of unfair means?

Uncomfortable queen

 I don't know why my 1741 rated opponent wanted to keep his queen towards my kingside even though I had enough pieces surrounding my king. His 10 out of total 29 moves were queen moves. On move 18 he was planning for Qxg7# but I ruined his game with 18...Bf6, an intermediate move, before capturing knight on 20...Bxg5.




Bust sicilian

 My 1785 rated opponent resigned in 28 moves.



Resigned

 My 1749 rated opponent resigned when he has no counterplay.

Defeated 1760 rated in drawish endgame

 I had bad position in middlegame. But I didn't give up. I missed few tactics.




Checkmated 1704 rated in 39 moves

During opening, my opponent transposed into french defence. On move 21, I missed mate in 5. After move 22.Qxg2 I wanted my opponent to commit blunder by grabbing rook 22...Qxd4 because then I win queen with discovered check 23.Bf6+!



Defeated 1761 rated player

 I defeated 1761 rated player even when he forcefully tried to exchange Queen.




Won inspite of loosing queen early

 I didn't give up after loosing queen on move 14 and delivered a beautiful blow to opponent king to win in 35 moves.

Center game

 I crushed 1824 rated opponent.



King in center

 See why it is dangerous to keep king in center. Although I missed Rook sacrifice Rxe6+ multiple times, I found it on move 23 to deliver checkmate with a pawn.




Endgame

 I missed some opportunities once queens were off the board. But I thought bishop and knight fir two pawns would give me advantage.
