oh.that would be intresting
Could a 2000 rated player beat Magnus Carlsen?
Sort:
A 2000 who lives 100 years from now maybe.
lol.
A 2055 drew Li Chao at the Reykjavik Open in the first round... And that was considered EXTREMELY SURPRISING. Carlsen is much stronger than Li Chao :)
so it is possible?

Yes. Statistically there's about a 1% chance of the 2000 scoring. Carlsen has lost to ~2000 rated players in blitz and bullet. There's a real, non-zero chance, especially if he plays in Olympiads where he is most likely to face low-rated players in tournament conditions.
Well so he wins them all?
It's possible to beat Carlsen if he makes a lot of blunders.
That's a LOT of blunders and a big IF.
Still, someone had to say it.
Carlsen is the chess terminator.
It takes someone with guts of steel like me to face up to him.
all right i will change my guts to steel!
Last week a brazilian did beat Carlsen with black...

lol
So, can a 1900 player do it?
maybe?are you talking about yourself?
Magnus said on AMA that even when drunk, other masters would have a hard time beating him.
Anyone can beat him if he blunders like a noob so yes.
