What is on the rise is the online 'bullet' matches between strong players, and even between strong and not so strong players (in a relative sense). Of course bullet chess (1 minute chess) isn't considered that serious so it is no surprise that the results of these matches aren't considered significant. Nonetheless a win by a lower rated player against a strong grandmaster is significant, even if only for the winning player. Here is such a game between a young Australian FM, and an even younger 2600+ GM. In the spirit of online chess I'll leave the names of the players a mystery for the reader to guess.
