My opponent below is a FIDE master and USCF 2152.  However, I have scored against him before, maybe winning a third of the games.  

Since this guy usually plays stronger than me, I chose a very aggressive opening and tried to get active play.  I had a several moves where I attacked his queen, and eventually he fell for a fork. 

When this guy loses, he always does the cheap thing and lets his time run out.
