This is gotta be the closest ive played to perfect in a match. It is with my favorite opening, the dragon which i have the first 9-10 moves memorized.  Ended after a disconnection on move 29 for white but game was decided on move 28 anyways. Time control in this game was 15/0 or 15/10 i believe. Here it is with my annotation. Tell me what you think.

its live chess and his rating was 1350 before the match. Mine was 1570. 1300 live is like 1600 in correspondence.

Wait... Ratings in live mean more than they do elsewhere?

Ratings in live tend to be lower than what you are in correspondence for 2 reasons. One live chess is much quicker and more errors. Also not as many players live chess and the ratings dont fluctuate high to low as much.

I don't know if it's intentional, but it certainly seems to work out that way.  I'm a few hundred lower in live chess than on the regular site.
