NM is 2400 rated so
NM is 2200+ USCF rating and although that might be around 2400 chess.com level, that number on chess.com isn't a requirement. OTB (in-person) ratings are 100% unrelated to online ratings and all titled players on chess.com get their title only by verifying their identity and in-person title to chess.com Staff.

As someone who has beaten multiple titled players otb and online and is close to getting a title(hopefully end of 2023) getting a title doesnt suddenly make you a god at chess and while in general titled players are better than players without a title you should just use a rating calculator to decide the chance of you beating them.

I don't have a coach or no openings, famous players, they say I have no pricipals and just win on tactics. I beat at least two titled player in the two months I played on chess.com. I do play over 800 games a month though.
I beat titled players quite often (and lose to them quite often, too).
Though, beating masters in online blitz/bullet is completely different from beating them in OTB classical. One is considerably more difficult than the other ...

You won a national master once, but you lost the rest. Still impressive nonetheless.
What’s a titled player

i have won against titled players here, i think my wins were because the games were unrated or sometimes they are streamers chatting and not playing well. It is fun though
Lots of untitled players 2400+ on this site. My guess is they dont have the time or availability to play rated otb games and tournaments.
True. Everyone is not the same.

1900's sometimes have a GM scalp .its very rare but not unheard of. often happens in round 1s in opens. a 1900 somehow survives until an even endgame and the GM pushes thinking he can survive creating an incorrect but super hard to spot complication.
Do you know the reason why?

When one face somebody of a supreme title or rank, they tend to put in more effort to win. However, sometimes those with the supreme title or rank may become complacent and start to lose. There are many factors honestly.
