lol how are ppl still posting in this.
Is there any chance that a 1300 rated player can beat a 2700 rated player?
I am around 1300, and I would be able to do it. All I would need is a chessboard and chess pieces, a 2700 ranked player, and a AK-47.
Here's what I think. The OP is an imbecile.
I'll bet he won't even notice that I said this.
because it was two years ago, gramps.
Another example, I suppose, of how you are not stalking me...right, asshole?
btw...that was a joke. He does come by periodically. Duh...
not sure if you are talking to me. Kind of a weird, almost creepy, post. not sure who you are.
You just wanted to post for posterity that I called you an asshole. If the shoe fits...
?? not sure why you are calling me an asshole.
Check out Chess.com University's online summer chess camp:
http://www.chess.com/news/chesscom-universitys-online-chess-camp-with-gm-boris-gelfand---official-announcement-8349
Boris Gelfand, one of the instructors of the camp, is a 2700+ rated super-GM.
Chess is a language; the GMs speak fluently and the rest not so much; for them to lose in this fashion is an elocutionist losing a debate to a mute.
Genius, if you post these ads here, I'm gonna be forced to contribute notes in the university. Unlike your faculty there, I do have advanced degrees. ;-)
As the OP and the imbecile(Oh why i just called myself imbecile, please search around some older posts for that!), I can suggest that 1300 people should to go to this camp, not to attend but to play against Gelfand. Beat him, and the Q is answered. Lose and the Q remains unaswered because that doesn't mean there is no chance, then there is only thing that I can say, keep playing! (I suddenly felt very great by unleashing tons of players on Gelfand, I dunno why!)
Way back in the day, I knocked Joe Louis to the canvas. Then only a couple years later, I for some reason, had dropped two weight classes and knocked out Jake LaMotta. Somehow, though, after both of those fights, I lost to club fighters in little towns.
Not entirely true since there are wheeling systems that help improve the odds of winning a lottery but essentially your statement is correct.
If you implying that wheeling systems give you positive EV, I would like to see the mathematical argument.
When I was 17 I convinced myself that there must be an advantage to a wheeling strategy. I was convinced enough (and probably bored enough) that I ran the combinatorial probabilities thoroughly. Conclusion? Your odds per dollar spent are exactly the same. Not a little better, not a little worse, exactly the same.
I'd never heard of a wheeling strategy until just now, though. I thought it was something I'd invented.

That is impressive to come up with on your own, but I agree with your math. There is no advantage to be gained. Might as well ask the oracle.
