  offramp: He had a quite incredible winning steak. I believe he won 135 games in a row. It is discussed, in usual Usenet fashion, here:

That's quite rare. Well done.

  offramp: Does no one have any information about his winning streak?
Apr-20-17  Conrad93: Strange. He played at a 1700+ level for years, and his rating all of sudden began to skyrocket in a matter of six months. It's very strange and suspicious.
