High rated Non titled players are many times beating a titled player how??💎🔅


Blitz/bullet wins mean nothing. I've beaten quite a few NMs, and even several FMs, in bullet games - yet they would absolutely demolish me in a serious long game. Also, not everyone wants to deal with the pressure of serious titled play, so there is that.

Carlsen would never lose even in a 3 minute blitz? Nice troll

I know your point but the only thing I said is that you said Carlsen would never lose even in a 3 minute blitz. And, truth is that Carlsen has lost even in Classical.

First of all, you're not "playing seriously" if you are playing Blitz or even Rapid. If you are an OTB titled player, you are basically practicing your overall vision when playing short time-limit games. The reason you have a title is you can put together complicated combinations and strategies that might take 20 minutes to figure out between moves.

I said he will not lose against normal players in 2400 elo range even 2600 but above that ,🐇
Yes he will. Carlsen is not invincible, he is not a machine, and everybody makes mistakes every now and then - see the video of the game in which Carlsen blundered a light piece by putting his knight and bishop on one line, and losing one of the pieces to the rook. In 3 minute games, the potential for slips is much higher, and Carlsen might even lose to a 2000 elo player occasionally.

Some are good players, with parallel professions. They don't want to take up Chess and leave their day jobs. At some point in my youth, I was the same. I beat lots of high rated pro-players till i went to College, Somewhere in between, I decided that a career in Finance is more lucrative and stable than a career in chess.
Long story short, I earn ton of money being a Finance manager, but can't beat a kid in neighborhood.

There are tons of untitled juniors who can trash older titled players regularly. If they work hard on their game, they may eventually become older titled players themselves one day, and be cannon fodder for the next generation of young guns.
Let the young 'uns brag for now. The real test is whether they can convert those blitz skills into real OTB ratings.

blitz on this site is a joke, I've beaten many titled players on here

I've beaten titled players in blitz here. I've also lost to much lower players. In blitz, you win some, you lose some.
In regards to the "why don't these untitled players try for a title?" question—not everyone has the desire (or the time) to pursue a chess title.
Many strong players just like to play online for fun.

I find it amusing that on another site I have a better record against IMs than I do against FMs. I think the IMs I face aren't as hungry as FMs.
GMs are another kettle of fish entirely. Those guys (and yeah, they're almost all guys) are amazing. I've only ever beaten them when they play trash openings.
