Breaking News: TransWarp passes 3932

I just happened to check out TransWarp's current status, it was sitting at 3930, approaching it's old unofficial blitz record of 3932, when I saw BOOO (strong anonymous blitz player) playing. BOOO must be very good to hold his own and sitting at #16 in blitz between #15 GM Bu Xiangzhi (bxz) and #17 GM Arman Pashikian with a post game rating of 3241. But I would like to post the game that put TransWarp at 3933, hopefully advancing more, but it's really tough when a draw can cost you 15 pts, meaning you play 14 games but 1 is a draw, you come out behind. Like 1 step forward, 14 steps back! :) A draw is bound to happen sooner or later, so I will be happy with this moment, which gives me a little pleasure, as I had a very small part in TransWarp's success, updating her opening books, actually making those books, not being able to use the Official Rybka book because I just have the UCI package and use ChessPartner 5.4 as it's gui, which cannot read Chessbase opening books. It's a small input, but Deep Rybka 3.0 "Human" does all the work with the nudge I have given her, and just a small nudge at that!
Will hopefully continue moving forward, I dread the inevitable draw or even loss, but it WILL happen, just a matter of when. Thanks to BOOO, whoever he/she may be, for being brave enough to be the one who risks the pts that put TW past it's old record, set on March 10, 2008. Here is the game that took her to 3933.
