ICC rules: 20 free GM lessons

Sometimes you get lucky late at night. I did recently when Bulgarian grandmaster Evgeny Ermenkov played 20, 4 0 blitz games against me. What a thrill. Yes, he crushed me but I had more chances than the 18-2 score would indicate. The very last game finally brought a victory. It's the GM scalp everyone looks for.
