Can a grandmaster beat Mittens?

Mittens, most of us know who it is by now. A horrifying, ferocious, and condescending mechanical feline with a very misleading rating of 1 ELO. Before playing a chess match with it, those who are uninformed of its sheer power would think something along the lines of "Wow, what a super weak bot" and then proceed to get absolutely blown off the board with its legendary play. But my question is: Do you think it is possible for a grandmaster to beat Mittens? If not, could they at least be able to get a draw? Without engine assistance of course, I just want to know if its humanly possible to beat it.

I think if magnus,hikaru and vishy teamed up and shared their thoughts on the best move they could beat mittens

About 50% of its moves were suboptimal vs stockfish, sometimes even giving itself a bad position. In a long time control format I assume strong GMs could win.

Hikaru drew it in blitz, so yeah, in a long time control a strong GM could do even better.

lol A friend on here just told me about the bot, probably just the Chess.com staff trolling haha......the bot probably really has a rating of 2800+ under the guise of "1", which isn't even possible any way lol.  I wouldn't worry about it or even try to beat it.

Mittens is the chess god

Eric Rosen (IM) has a video up on YT where he played it twice, not only got crushed, but never saw the 16 ton weights before they dropped on him.

GMs cross the street when they see Mittens on the sidewalk.

Well I don't think it can be beaten since it beat the computer on the maximum difficulty then for doubters mittens can't be beaten
