I found an old game played back in February 1992. This is one of two games in which I managed to draw a master in tournament play. In both games I had White. The entire game, with analysis and diagrams, is at http://www.mikeseroveyonchess.com/ArnoNolting-English.html. A few months after this game was played I was at another tournament with USCF Life Master Tom Stiers and Tom asked Arno how it was that he managed to draw a 1600. Anro was rated over 2300 at that time. Arno responded that he didn't know. It just happened. In Round Two of this tournament I played another master and lost in 23 moves. In Round Three I played an unrated player and won. In Round Four I played another 1600 and lost. My opponent played the Bird's Opening in that game and I didn't know how to play against it then. It appears that tournament only had four rounds.
Here is the game in PGN.
