Right. We met a couple of months ago again with the difference that he was
playing someone stronger...

Well, I don't think there is a reason to be impressed. Here in Europe the real
chess players are in a quite dense area, so chances are that you can meet them
in real life. In our team we have a strong female player writing sometimes for
ChessBase:

She obviously knows many of the world class players in person very well (and
they know her). I think they know her all, maybe all except Kasparov.

So for example when we had a gm tournament two or three years ago, here in
Essen, I had the opportunity to have a dinner together with her and Vadim
Zvaginsjev. Of course with guys like him you don't talk about chess. It's simply
a completely different world, their chess and the game I call chess... ;)
