A 1650 beating a GM is pretty big deal, even in a blitz game. Mind you, you should not get hung up on numbers. All a rating is, is a measure of past performance. When you sit down with someone all that matters is the moves on the board. Never let a number beat your or allow yourself to intimidated by someone's reputation. Just keep pounding out good moves and the wins will come.

@fireupontheearth Such as the same unwritten rule that you keep your hands off the pool table when someone else is shooting
-
@fireupontheearth So true. Magnus Carlsen drawed with Garry Kasparov when he was only 13. Which is crazy because Garry Kasparov was like 40 or so.

@ilkmz44 There was castling involved early on in the game which you may have seen. Or it may have just been her changing her mind.

@ ilkmz44
It's called the "changing your mind" move.
-
Very well done managing time on the end. She realised too late your time was nearly running out.
-
Sorry for sounding like a noob at chess...but what was that one move she did what she tilted the king then moved it two space??
-
Seemed a little desperate of her... she didn't resign until it was mate in 1. I kinda wish she would have coughed and scattered the pieces all over the floor :P
-
Hey if he hit the clock before he moves? LOL
-
This was a great game from fireuponthe earth's side. Nevertheless I don't understand the respectless comments of some users here. It was a Blitz game and she wanted to force a victory in a position in which she should have been fighting for a draw. Great game from his side congrats to that, but some comments here about her abilities are ridiculous.

It's no big deal that he beat a woman GM. The mens chess game is light years ahead of the womens game.

When playing do you have to have your arms in like that or can you hover one hand over the clock ?

@1Deejay7 The general rule is you're supposed to hit the clock and move the pieces with the same hand.

@fireupontheearth this wasnt really a good game for susan she was playing passive and you were more of the aggresor i went over the game on my chess board lol congrats on beating a GM i saw the comment about you getting beat by teens when you were 21 how did you manage to become better and this is kinda out of topic but i was wondering do you have to pay to join a chess club?? cause im thinking of joining one

@phillyshell94 Some clubs require dues, some don't. As far as improving at chess, what seemed to work best for me was studying lots of tactics. Get a book like "1001 Winning Chess Sacrifices and Combinations" and just pound it. For a while I was doing tactics problems for an hour or two a day. Besides that I'd say just play a lot, especially against stronger players. Study your games and try to understand your mistakes.

After watching Susan's life story here on some youtube post, I almost wanted to give up. I didn't start at a single digit age. You give us 'commoners' hope. Perhaps I'll linger with the game a while longer. Thanks . . . and GOOD job!.

@gliderrider I was in the same boat as you. I was 21 when I played my first tournament and walked away with four losses and a draw, and that was in the U1200 section. Three of those games were against pre-teen kids! Would've been easy to quit right there, but I stuck with it and am glad for doing so. You can become a decent (by amateur standards) player at any age with the right effort.
