I rarely play chess OTB since I put competition aside after my university career in journalism.
The last standard tournament I participated in was the 1992 U-18 World Chess Tournament in Duisburg, Germany, after being Argerntina's champion.
Please check a sample game from that tournament against a strong GM:
