For me winning that match is more likely than finding a girlfriend.
Is there any chance that a 1100 rated player can beat a 2500+ rated player?

as a 700 i once beat a 2000 in 1 minute bullet... mind you i was about 1450 rapid at the time...
Bullet doesn't count. There are plenty of high rated bullet players (around 2000) who are only 1500-1700 rated in blitz and rapid which means that they are not good chess players and rather just fast. Therefore if they encounter some lag or something that decreases the speed they can play at they are beatable by people rated 1500 in rapid.
you mean especially in bullet.... lol. work on your manners.

Of course it's possible. The 2500 player could have stroke or heart attack, a power failure in their city could knock out the computer and cause a loss on time, the arbiter could disqualify the 2500 player for unsportsmanlike behavior, a thousand different ways it could happen.

Depends. Back then I was still 1100 elo I once beat my girlfriend who was 2200 elo. Above 900 obvious blunders start declining and its possible for a player to go through a game without blunders at all,. If the timing of the game is short enough potentially you can hold out till timeout or if you're really lucky well everyone blunders.
I wonder was she really 2200 strength or just...'women's 2200'.
Does she play in female only events a lot?
bro if u are 2200 you will play like a 2200 regardless of you who are
IDK I heard a stronger player mention once that if women play female only events they're gaining that elo in smaller pools and not against the big sharks.

Yes it is possible. In fact I won against a 3030 rated player 3 times today. I only played them 13 times. 3 wins, 9 losses and 1 draw.

One chance in two thousand, one hundred and eighty-seven.
Exactly.
The rating system is arranged so that a two hundred point gap represents three-to-one odds.
There are seven such two hundred point gaps between 1100 and 2500.
So the odds-against are three to the seventh power.
3^7 = 2187
Q.E.D.

"l" is short form for "lol".
It's something the kids say these days, because (as I was told by my nephew) typing out "lol" takes too long.

Definetly possible because mr 2500 didnt have his coffee and he blunders every piece
Fun fact: the correct answer was given more than 10 years ago.
I, as the third person to revive a decade-old topic opened in July 2013 after it was reopened in August 2023, take great pride in myself. We are the chosen ones. Among hundreds of thousands of chess players, only three individuals in a decade possess the mindset capable of reopening this topic.
In thousand games 2500+ player could blunder a queen in a single game on move 13 in slightly better position and likely win the game in the end.
