Angelo,

Two draws would also work. Also, a rating difference of 900 expects 1
point for about every 179 games!

BTW, my son and I are about 900 points apart (he's about 2300), too.
He says the same thing, that I would not be able to get a win or two
draws against him (assuming I didn't become any better at chess from
all those games played against someone MUCH stronger).

Best regards,

George John
