I heard this GM has beaten Rybka a few times is it Correct?

Yes, famously so.

Can you show the recorded game that you played?

I wish that I could. It was a very spur of the moment thing, I went
down to WATCH the simul, and there were a few seats open, I wasn't
planning to play, and I had no scoresheet.

The game was a transposed kinds gambit that came about with an f4
opening by Nakamura. This was interesting for me, because while on the
east coast the KG is popular, this is very nearly never assayed on the
west coast in scholastics. I had NO IDEA how to play this or what the
point of the opening.

So I tried to parry his threats the best I could, and activate my pieces
the best I could (my queen's knight was very active trying to find a
good squared to be on). We eventually castled on opposite sides, and I
forced first down to a RK RB endgame, which if I was reasonable player
should have been drawn, but the locals like how I handled my self, as we
finally got down to the ending that I enclosed.

I wish that I had the recorded game, but my mind doesn't work that way,
and I wasn't prepared, but I took the opportunity that arose. How could
I not?

Most of the games to the right and left of me, were pressure games. The
GM just brought out coordinated pieces, put massive pressure on the
king, then brought MORE pressure on the king, and then the players just
folded up like a house of cards. My game was a bit different, I would
fortify the weakness that it looked like he was going for, and then
focused on his king, with the opportunity for trading down. Eventually,
it seemed he had to take me up on those opportunities.
