<Kenpo> He will sooner or later get a point against you, you know...

WOW(that actually is impressive), 2100...1300 same difference.  

Here's a hypothetical situation to show it's possible: 1300 playing white    1.e4  e5  2.Qh5   2700 reaches for his knight but slips and grabs the king instead...  surely that has to happen at least once in a gazillion million billion trillion years?!

yeah...but the 1300 still wouldn't be able to win that game :P

i think yes

if the 2700 player does a blunder / the 1300 rating player concentrates

most probably the game would be a fast game like a 1 min game

in which any one can do a blunder ( a GM too )

You could poke his eyes out. But he'd probably have the board memorized by then anyway.

@erikido23 you really don't have a high opinion of 1300's do you!

@  oort...you have been accused of not having a sense of humor once haven't you?

PS..I agree the 1300 would win it...They just wouldn't realize they mated when they played qxe5

I don't know about %, but I have seen a 2500 lose to 1300 in otb, and I have beaten an IM in OTB(although I messed up the later games, this is my proudest achievement).

I would suggest Caro-Kann if you want to try, because I did that vs the IM. My endgame was better, so I won.

no offense, but i highly doubt it, even after a terrible blunder. i suggest trying to turn the game into a learning experience instead of a competition; at least then you will seize the opportunity to its fullest.

@erikido I think you have me confused with someone else and in this case dude it's definitely you that lacks a sense of humour (or at least the ability to recognise a joke when it's made)

What? You've never played 1/0 OTB? You've never lived!

Seriously, just challenge me to a 3/0 whenever you see me on live chess, I'm happy to play. My 3/0 rating is lower though, not even 2000 I think. Clearly I play better without thinking...

Wow! That must be one of the biggest upsets of all time surely? Would you be able to post the game for us to see?

It's true that there is a lot of speculation here. It's hard to really prove this stuff; all I can say is that this line of reasoning (in my posts), given the choice, is the one that makes the most sense to me.

I could never beat a 2700 in a million years.

Is there any chance that a 1300 rated player can beat a 2700 rated player?

No way! Unless it's something like Zukertort's case, but mostly it'll be abandoned. :P

No.

I think a 1300 is rated too high to have a chance.  His "chess knowledge" would get in the way of him accidentally playing a good game.  A 200 rated player has a small theoretical chance.

lol, so what must 1300 rated player should do is to lose games rapidly, so he can have a chance against 2700.
