Subject: 1802-rated human draws 2502-rated comp on USCL facing Halloween Attack

Can't believe I'm bragging about a draw. But here it is, against a comp on USCL
at 15 10. And I suck at fast time controls. I play much better at 40/2.

Even better, the comp was White and played it's favorite opening, which
afterwards I saw it has a web page about. It seems to be quite proud of the
Halloween Attack. I had never heard of this variation before, I just thought it
was a Four Knights. On the web page the owner even shows some pretty thorough
analysis of the line. It appears only two other comp accounts have won against
it in this line.

Somehow I got very lucky, so here it is, my one draw against a comp which is not
set to play weakly. : )
