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?

I defeated 1740 rated opponent. After 39...a3 I felt loosing and was almost tempted to resign.
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?
I defeated 1694 rated opponent in 12 moves with 10+5 time control. My clock didn't even go below 10 minutes.
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?
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.
I had bad position in middlegame. But I didn't give up. I missed few tactics.
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+!
I defeated 1761 rated player even when he forcefully tried to exchange Queen.
I didn't give up after loosing queen on move 14 and delivered a beautiful blow to opponent king to win in 35 moves.
My 1730 rated opponent abandoned the game when he start loosing.
Play 1...h6 against anything. All you need is superior tactic and better endgame technique.
I checkmated my 1714 rated opponent in 22 moves. Although I missed an opportunity to win a knight on move 18 with Bxa8!
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.
I missed some opportunities once queens were off the board. But I thought bishop and knight fir two pawns would give me advantage.
My 1804 rated opponent blundered bishop. He was out of opening preparation? Are these players memorizing openings or using database?
