A Win Against the Club Expert!!
I won a game against the club expert last night! The game was about as even as it could be until half-way through a rook and pawn endgame where he made a few mistakes that gave me the win. Until that point, Fritz's evaluation doesn't vary by more than a pawn in either direction. There was a point in the middlegame where I missed a couple of opportunities to win a pawn, and then later, when going into the endgame, he had a slight advantage (0.60 or so.)
What makes the win even better in my mind is that (even though we weren't using clocks) he used considerably more thinking time than I did. A large chunk of it was his trying to find a way to draw the lost endgame. The game lasted about two and a half hours...take a look:

Congrats!
Dear amateur:
You certaly are a beginner. You lost the game in 34- __ b4. What were you thinkig?
tempo - Thanks :)
anonymous (afraid to identify yourself?) - I probably shouldn't even dignify this with a response, but would you like to back your rude comment up with some proof (and maybe some correct spelling?) According to the post-game analysis that I ran, the game was 100% drawn at that point and 34...b4 was the best move in the position. It seems that you haven't the slightest clue what you are talking about.
