How Can I Play Against A Titled Player?

I’ve played quite a few titles players but IMs and GMs rarely.

Try the new Community Club Roulette tourneys that are happening on Mondays, described in the Announcements section of this club.They are 10|0 Arenas. There are early and late editions (same times as Un/Titled Tuesdays.) They are unrated because the idea behind them is to practice the opening they give you. They just finished with Queen's Gambit. Don't know what the next one will be. (That's why it's called a roulette.)

Why do I mention this? Since it's unrated, titled players do not need to be afraid to play the rest of us.

There are a couple of strong FMs playing there (https://www.chess.com/member/shnitez and https://www.chess.com/member/blank0923) who are beating everyone. They were there in both tourneys so far, so I suspect they'll show up again. Go next Monday, and see if you can take them down!

That is going to be very difficult, not only is it rapid, they are booked to the gills
