Do you think you can achieve a title in the future?
No
I have beaten titled players in blitz, and lot of unrated. Does a player play stronger chess if their is rating points on the line?. I wonder if that is the reason sometimes for my wins... like on the unrated twitch stream tournaments?
Sometimes people try harder in rated, but that isn't even that main issue here; part of the reason streamers lose more often is that streaming is difficult! I didn't realize this until I tried streaming chess on Twitch (I don't stream anymore because I'm mostly making chess YouTube videos instead) and some chess friends of mine started streaming, but streaming makes you play several hundred points lower in ability until you practice streaming a lot.
I think more relevant than trying in rated vs unrated is that when a titled player streams a game, they have to focus on the game, offer commentary for the game, monitor the chat, make sure the stream quality is good (audio, video, etc.) and more distractions. When they play a rated game off-stream, then they can just focus on the game and not have as many inherent distractions.
In my opinion, I advice for you to focus on your own performance first. I started playing chess again early this year and managed to slowly improve my game from training, lessons and doing puzzles. I just reached 1900+ and got my first win against a titled player WFM few days ago.
The secret is to just improve your game gradually, don't think much about titled players. As long you focus on your game, it will gradually come.
Thanks a lot for the advice.

No.
You can. You have a high rating.
Having a chess title doesn't give you magical powers; you can use an elo calculator to estimate the win percentage of any two players playing against another just on their ratings alone; granted, this is only an estimate, but it is better than nothing.
With that being said, titled chess players are very strong and won't be easy to win against.
I liked your response to my query.
Rating matters most in chess.The players with the title are the best of the best. It's hard to beat them
I would get a chess title but I can't stand these pathetic loser titled players.
They have no personalities and are social screw ups.
Basically a bunch of annoying A-HOLES
Getting a title is all about money. Whoever has more money, gets it ( this is my hot take about this) Everybody above 2200 is capable of getting a title If they have the money.
i did not put money into chess to learn. I learned on Roblox while babysitting and in the school library on the internet during the lockdowns![]()

Roblox? Is there any chess features on Roblox that is good for learning? I hardly see any though.
I drew a 2700 on Lichess in something called a simo. I won against two titled player the other day in 3/0.. The reason in the 3/0 games was that both players were streamers and talking at the same time. I know in January when i start streaming I will lose a lot at first
