It's incredible, but true: today in a 25-board simultaneous display I managed to win against GM Zoltán Almási, a 2674 player, who is currently 47th-ranked in the world and 3rd in Hungary.
O.K., he was far from his best in this simultan game, but he is a top GM nevertheless.
Who does not know him...?

Apart from two games from 12 years ago, today was the 1st time that I had played an OTB game against a grandmaster, and now I am very very very very very HAPPPY. (I was so happy this evening that I could have screamed.)

You can take a look at the scan of the scoresheet. (With the GM's signature on it.)

I heard that I was the only one who managed to win, even though at least three players were 2100+ and I could name a "2200+"-player, too. (the GM's statisctics after all games: +20 =4 -1)

You will soon be able to download a videoclip about the event...
