Masterful Performance?

CORRESPNDENCE chess, or at least those versions that allow engine-use, records a high percentage of draws, certainly when compared to over-the-board chess.
I have just drawn all 14 games on board two for Valleys Nomads in division two of the 2021 States & Regions championship at the Fide-recognised ICCF.
While this is nothing to shout about, it is fair to say all 14 opponents were higher-rated than I am, and the result was enough to score a norm for the title of correspondence chess master.
