This is a game I played today in a tournament at my local club. I am not able to comment right now so comments would be helpful. I was black.
Don't have a real grudge, but I notice that against 1200's. They sometimes can get out of the middlegame ok against higher rated opposition, but they mess up the ensuing endgames. I have played enough 1200s to know that.
18. exd5! was nice, resisting the urge to open the c file where the rook and queen are stacked up!
endgame was nice - looked drawish until you cleared things up.
note to KillaBeez - what is with this grudge against lower rated players? everyone used to be 1200!
nice game!
Your opponent, like most 1200s, lacked a basic understanding in the ending. Even though you didn't play the best in the middlegame, you can always count on a 1200 to do something stupid in an endgame.
Cool.
