Here is one of my games in which I beat a 1900 rated player with White. I played the English Opening and fell victim to a brilliant Knight sacrifice. Unfortunately for Nolan, he got greedy and grabbed a pawn which gave me time to get a Rook back over to the Kingside in order to defend against a mate threat. As a result Nolan was down on material and then got into time trouble. I was still up material when he ran out of time and lost on time forfeit. This was Round 1 of the tournament. I lost rounds 2 and 3 and drew Round 4. This result pulled my rating up a little bit but I didn't score well enough to get a class prize. There was no prize for the biggest upset. I was playing in a game 60 time control which meant that I didn't have to continue to keep score once either player got below 5 minutes remaining on the clock. I stopped keeping score when Nolan got down to about 2 minutes remaining. I have posted the game as far as I kept score and included analysis and diagrams on my website at http://www.mikeseroveyonchess.com/NolanDenson-English.html. Here is the game in PGN.
