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

I always find uschess.org a little bit wierd because the page shows all the details about the game, EXCEPT THE GAME ITSELF!!

if the 2700 want to drop the game, it will happen, apparently Chesslaboss wanted to do that.

In 15 second chess. Probably not in a 2 hour match

That would be quite an uphill battle. Honestly, it's better to think about beating people 200 rating points above you. If you continue doing this, you'll be setting your goals high while also making sure they are within reach. Having attainable goals is incredible important. In this particular scenario, the odds are closer to 0%.
