How ICC's random blitz improves your chess life

I am a great fan of ICC's random blitz pairing function. The system pairs you with an opponent and the higher your rating, the higher your chance of playing against FIDE titled players. For example, tonight I beat a US NM David Koval who played simul games against famous world champions and GMs. Then I beat the famous US FM Asa Hoffmann who knew Fischer well. Not bad for one brief after work session.

Give it a try and see who you get. In the game below I played White against IM Ulrich Schulze and it was my move. It's easy to see how I knocked him out. No hints.

White to move.
