Another milestone

The first one was this one. Now, for the first time in my life, I have beaten an IM in chess. No, it might not be a big thing for you guys, but it is for me. Well, I didn’t just win – I crushed her:

The end position, I played black, 1+0 bullet game. She blundered a bishop in the middle game and afterwards came into severe time trouble that cost her the Queen.

Update: Dang! I see now, after checking the FIDE database (here she is), that my opponent Iozefina Paulet is not technically an IM – she’s ‘just’ a WIM. And as the WIM title has lower requirements than the FM title, it’s not really a big leap forward. Still, it feels pretty good – only 46 Elo-points separates her from one of the contestants in the Corus C group.
