After a 340 game no loss streak, muisback (GM Rauf Mamedov) checkmated TransWarp! TransWarp had just gotten into the 3700's but was bumped back into the high 3600's after this loss. It had had a 94 (if I remember right) no loss or draw streak just prior, but Charodej (GM Igor Smirnov) broke that streak. When GM Mamedov won, TW was at 3709, but the 31 pts it lost took it to 3678, GM Mamedov played 2 more games, giving back 4 pts, to where TW sits now at 3682, waiting for that slow climb back into 3700 territory :) Congrats to GM Mamedov! Only 4th Checkmate on TransWarp in over 1000 games, joining GM Maxim Dlugy, Rahmaninov (anonymous GM)& GM Vladimir Malakhov (Akademik). There were also 3 flag losses to Goldmund(2) & Charodej(1), one of which was an opening lock-up where JimmyS(C) a bot that monitors computer accounts, noticed it had locked up and norated it. The 2 other times, TransWarp had bad internet connections (it happens, no excuse) and when it would log back on, lose 15 seconds as a penalty. Just one of those things.. But I count the 4 checkmates as downright spankings! :D Congrats again to those GM's who did it!
