in a 3 or 1 minute game, Naka probably beats anybody below like 2000 USCF

in a 30/90, G/30 (w/ 30 second increment), tournament type game, a 1700 or so is probably a small favorite.

We reached an endgame position where they say the superior side is "only playing for 2 results", win or draw. I was the one pressing for a win and could only lose with some real blunders, but we remained within the margins of a draw and that's what happened.

Rating is 2200 USCF

Surely that's the bad side of the draw then, no, lol? As in, you could have won, but you drew!

2200 is good man, is that master?

Heh, I suppose so. That's a fair way to look at it.

Yeah, I'm (just barely) a USCF master, but a fair distance from being an FM. My chess progress stopped cold once I started playing poker.
