A chess game against player with over 200,000 chess games played!

I've been regularly playing online chess since the year 2008. In this time I have played more than 8,400 chess games. It may seem like a big number, but there are some chess players with MUCH bigger numbers of games played. I've been tracking such players for some time now. Here are the record holders:

1. Over 204,000 chess games played:

Recently the guy from the top of the list joined my table and we played a chess game together! Yay! He is not a pushover, because he wins more than 57 % of his games, but at the time of our play his rating was actually a little lower than mine (this rating is not comparable to any other chess rating because it can change quite rapidly). My opponent was playing very quickly (to play so many games you have to play mostly very short ones) and he lost a pawn. We exchanged all our pieces, but we still had lots of pawns lef (I had 7 and he had 6), so the endgame was quite interesting. I was playing white.

Black resigned.
