any titled players want to play? (for practice)

I would like to be able to play a titled player in a game and see how they play compared to others against my moves

now i know this isn't ¨chess memes" or ¨guess the elo ¨ or something on politics so there will likely be no response but im still going to try to reach out to one to play with some.

just looking for a couple games and some tips on improvement. that's all, thank you for the time you may give.

i also know there are people with the ultra high ego and think they are too good to play somebody weaker than them. if thats you just forget about elo and lets still play some for fun

i wonder if people see this

whwat

I've definitely seen titled players who play lower rated players a lot! Maybe one of them will see this. Guess there are also those streamers who play their viewers, but that may take a lot of waiting as there will be a long queue.

maybe they just haven't seen this thread?

......

tbh masters probally do have that ego that tells them no

You can probably play titled players if you watch a lot of chess streams as often times the streamers are high rated or titled players and sometimes they have "playing viewers" streams.

I know there are some titled players which regularly visit the chess.com forums, but titled players make up less than half of 1% of all chess players, so there are many of them. Of the few who are titled, many of them are too busy working on their chess to visit the forums, but some stop by every now and then

will take a few months of time, but i could if i knew where to start

Here's how you do it:

1. Find a titled player

2. Look at their profile, and see how much they charge per game.

3. If they do not list that, message them and ask how much they charge per game.

4. Pay them.

5. Play.

6. Profit.

A lot of lower rated players will say something like this, then cheat against you

It's also annoying, IMO, to be asked to play a game at random "hey, play me now"

Of course a titled player might appear and say yeah, let's play 100 games... but I think a better way to go about it would be to find a titled player who posted some messages in the forums, and then send them some messages... maybe ask them for some basic advice "what book would you recommend for..." and if they don't respond, then leave them alone!

But if they do respond, then thank them, and ask for some analysis of a game... then thank them... and then ask if they'd play a game with you... build it up naturally like that, you'll have a better chance of success.

This is also effective

It sounds like you'd like a free lesson.

dont be dumb. ive gotten to 1800 in less than a year i aint dumb. 2400 is realisitc for 4-12 months

If your progress was legitimate, which is a different topic, that would still take far more than a few months.

This should be the way, since most titled players are trying to make a living playing a board game.

They are like a dog that sits just to get a treat, except for the titled player, that treat is to pay rent and have food to like, live. And while it is cool that titled players play for "the love of the game" or "to promote chess", we, as newbies, should be cool with paying them for their service as well. Cuz, like, I have never donated to a single titled player "for the love of the game", or "to promote chess", so I shouldn't expect the same in return.
