In the second game, a piece was not necessarily a winning advantage given the rating difference!

The draw in the game with the queen advantage is indeed very odd. It's tempting to send a message to the guy and ask about it. As for the other game with the smaller advantage, sure, you might go on to blow it, but why play in the first place then? I think the fact that a draw was offered (given that there is no apparent impasse) is a pretty good indication that you are in a good position.

I wish I was good enough to win almost everygame I played against players rated below 2200.
I do not want to fault someone for playing more than 50 games at a time with weaker players. I think it is generous for them to give us their time. Unfortunately he cant play more than 50 games against mainstream players and also join every elite tournament.
I hate the rule that if you have 50 or more actve games you cant enter a tournament

That's a good point. I had completely forgotten the 50 game rule because it is never likely to apply to me!

Just adding my two cents :-)
Looking at his top-rated 40 losses verses his top-rated 40 wins, he lost to an average rating of 2594 and won to an average rating of 2498.
That suggest to me that his true rating is around that 2550 middle ground.
Obviously even many elite level players are still going to struggle against him but there are 10-15 active players here that are better.
