How Can I Play Against A Titled Player?

Playing unrated, the chances of playing against a titled player is like 1 in 700 for me and I like playing against them because WHY NOT! I don't like how rare it is so is there any way I can play against a titled player. I know I'll probably lose but I drew against one once so there is a pixel of a chance. So if you're a titled player reading this, maybe you can tell me and I can "challenge" you to a 10 minute unrated game (where I'll probably lose) and have fun! happy.png

Titled players show up in Arenas a lot. I got 3 titled players that way. Also, if you are on Twitch or Kick, GM Benjamin Bok plays people.

How do I play against them? I can't just BARGE in and challenge them unexpectedly can I?

No, plenty do do that and they never get a game. Watch the streams and find out when they are playing viewers. Many do it at least once a week. They also participate in Arenas which you can join in, although you wont necessarily get paired with a titled player.

E.g. Chessbrah arenas typically have several titled players playing in them.

Personally I'm not really interested in playing titled players unless they are going to analyse the game afterwards. They always take me apart sooner or later, I'm not close enough to their level to get any enjoyment from it.

Go to OTB tournament and hope you will get paired with titled player.

As many people already pointed out, the best way for lower-rated player to play titled players is probably through Twitch. Many streamers play viewers and have arenas, and if you're willing to pay few euros for a sub the chances naturally go up. I've gotten the chance to play some very strong people, even strong GMs like Svidler and Kosteniuk.

I played 20+ titled player.

but they don't accept rematch.

And won every game against them !!

You can also do it OTB! If anyone is doing a simultaneous exhibition (simul), there's your chance. I did it twice.

You do realize we can see your games right? You've played (on this account) 10 games against titled players, and won 2, drawn 1 and lost 7, 4 of them being rematches against the same player. No need to lie on the internet buddy.

Get higher! The higher rated you get the more titled players you are paired with. Or else direct challenge a titled streamer. I got to play Aman Hambleton once by direct challenging him. His username is @KNVB

You can direct challenge them directly, but it is likely that they will decline. It is a matter of patience

Avatar of VictoryW10

Only the streamer titled players ever accept

Avatar of ShadowKatana25

Not true. I have played some titled players by just challenging them. You can try it out for yourself

Avatar of VictoryW10

Rlly? I’ve tried countless times lol

I've only ever found titled players in 30 second. in the last year, I think I have played two titled players. I think they were both around 1850 elo, so getting around there in bullet might help.
