Here is on of my first games played at Stan's NetChess. My opponent was rated 2402 at the start of the game and is currently rated 2615. Ratings at Stan's NetChess tend to run much higher than those at ICC or the USCF. Consider that my rating at Stan's NetChess is over 2100 while my ratings at both ICC and USCF are in the 1500's. This game was played back in 2004. I was somewhat intimidated by my opponent's rating and was hoping for a draw. If my opponent hadn't gotten careless on move 47 and dropped his Bishop, the game most likely would have ended in a draw. Rook versus Bishop and pawn endgames are hard to win.
