The game below is my only game against FIDE Master Tapio Salo that I have a notation of. If I recall correctly, we have only played two games against each other and this game is from a simultaneous exhibition that he gave at the club in March 27th 2004. After the simultaneous exhibition we played a blitz tournament where I was able to get my first win against a titled player. It was the second time I played against him and I have to admit that the blitz game was won on time. If my memory serves me right, the final position in that game consisted of me having one pawn and a king and my opponent had two connected pawns and a king. I can't remember the exact location of those pieces anymore unfortunately, but I do remember that those were all that remained on the board. After this day, I have won two International Masters, played a draw against another FIDE Master and won a few National Masters, not sure about the exact count, since I have not kept track of those. I have not won any games against Grandmasters and since I play against them very rarely, I do not really have all that many chances to do that. I have played against maybe two Grandmasters and only once against both of them, both I lost, which is of course not a surprise. I am not saying that I could consistently win games against FIDE Masters or International Masters or other traditional chess titled players, but maybe if some of them are not at their best anymore, I may have a chance against them. I used the term traditional chess titles to describe the titles that existed before the addition of the new FIDE Online Arena titles for amateur players.
