Under some conditions almost any player can beat Kasparov. This should be obvious.

Oh my God! What a cute little puppy!

One thing I love about chess is anyone is capable of beating anyone. Chess Titles, ratings, reputation, etc are all meaningless. The only thing that matters is the moves on the board.
The idea of chess "Strength" is equally meaningless, because you are only as strong as your most recent game.
Always try and play your best no matter who you are playing. When I would play in OTB tournaments I did not want to know someone's rating until after the game, so nothing would subconsciously influence my playing style.

If I get to make Kasparov's first few moves for him I could beat him easily.

I'm afraid this would not be enough, unless you pick for him 1.g4 and 2.f3.

@IM pfren, well said!

This is the best thread.
CalamityChristie
don't forget to push the black e-pawn on move 1, don't work as well otherwise.
i think the evaluation of that is much bigger than +1

No. There are times I can't even beat my goldfish.
Exactly my point. I doubt 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. Qh5 would be sufficent.
pfren 1.g4 ...(if only 1. ...e6 or 1. ...e5) 2.f3 is a mate with 2. ...Qh5#, so if ur gona take pfren's tricks to play that on GK, It will be the most painful defeat u will ever have and no one would forget it:)

Have you ever played a rated game OTB? If so what is your rating?
I think you missed the point. I said that I could only win if I got to choose Kasparov's first few moves, and he said, obviously knowing what he's talking about, that I'd only win if those moves I choose for him are g4 and f3. Unfortunately, IM pfren forgot about this:
Yeah, that's right. Black doesn't need to play the moves for the fool's mate.
And that's stupid then...

No I could not beat Gary Kasparov. I wouldn't survive the opening. one single inaccuracy and he would win without any effort.

Is that for retail ? or do I need to go buy it wholesale ?
I think is out of stock at the moment due the great demand.
Wow, I would have never expected that....I should take up stock in that company...

Would a 2000 ELO player beat Kasparov if he had a piece advantage?
