I take it this is from that famous Garbagebase on your FTP due to the number of
repeats. :-) It should be noted that the game below is a mystery and not one due
to chess. Final position is without danger, and Gary is probably still better.

It should also be noted that apart from games from simuls he practically never
meets players rated below 2600. However, allow me to add a few losses in 20-some
moves that I picked out of the CA base, none of which are blitz or simuls:
