I could hypothetically beat Vishwanathan Anand if I really wanted to

Probably because they were played against weak players. In world championship matches most of the openings are e4 or d4. Bad openings like c4 or g3 are rarely used in world championship matches 

Anand can certainly see farther than ten moves ahead, if he needs to.

I mean, you have to remember that Anand is a former World Champion, and has been one of the strongest grandmasters in the world for several decades.

Realistically speaking, there's probably nothing about chess that you can think of that he hasn't already thought of himself, or tried.

When Grandmasters talk about looking only 3 or 4 moves ahead, they're talking about being practical, and saving their heavy calculations for when the position calls for it.

And a lot of the times, looking past 3 or 4 moves isn't really needed. Especially if the objectively best moves are obvious at a glance.

That doesn't sound logical testpatzer. You can't just think three moves ahead and not think three moves ahead. He thinks three moves ahead coz it's his style. But my style is ten moves ahead. 

I don't believe in elo ratings. They are not even accurate. 

It's just they rating that's 1700 anyway I play badly on time pressure. I blunder on time. Most of the games I lose I still get into a winning position and blunder 

Your greatest chance of beating him is if you're playing him online you DDOS his computer lol

Lol. The next @UrkedCrow.

He was someone who kept on making forums saying he was the best player and could beat everyone.

I'm probably as good as Magnus carlsen if I played on long time controls so I wouldn't blunder. My only weakness is that I blunder on short time controls but in a long game nobody could beat me 

nah. He indeed makes sense. You are too dumb. There's no need to think 3 moves or 10 moves ahead , when the next move is very obvious. Besides there is no style of thinking x moves ahead . Any GM could perhaps think 20 moves ahead

There's no need to think moves ahead? That's like the most ridiculous thing I've heard. Obviously you don't even know what a chess variation is. And chess variations are alll about looking moves ahead.

Even a patzer like me knows that you don’t need to calculate with every move. 

You b*nker . Do you even read what people write ? When there's an obvious move , say you are in check and the obvious thing is to capture the piece thats checking your king , there is no point of thinking 10 moves ahead. Besides , Anand or for that matter any GM's capacity is not 3 moves ahead. Heck , even I could visualize beyond 3 moves . They could think beyond 20

Sure you can. Look at how Hikaru plays. Sometimes he only glances a move or two ahead. Other times he stops and actually calculates out the lines.

The position dictates what kind of thinking is required. Only an inexperienced player would try to rely on extensive calculation for every move. It would imply that they lack the positional knowledge to identify the needs of the position.

Being able to calculate far ahead is great! But that's only a single piece of the puzzle.

If you said to any GM, "I can calculate 10 moves ahead!" They'd say, "Yeah? So? I can do that while making pizza."

you lost game in 9 moves take a slice of humble pie

joined 20 hours ago, lost to multiple 1600's in blitz and then goes on the forums and claims he can beat a world class GM. 

2021 trolling, its abysmal.

low effort troll job, 0.5/10

You could also hypothetically lose to him even if you really didn't want to, so... there's that.

Yes! You can beat Anand hypothetically not in reality. Anand will not consider you as an equal opponent against you. As long as Anand won't consider you as  an opponent, he will not play with you. And if you won't get a chance to play with Anand, how will you beat him?.
