yes
I played this when I was some 1379 in elo against a 1456
Although far from ppeerrffeecctt, I beat him in brilliant fashion.
hahahaha I remember when I came for the first time in the chess club, I played a really strong player with the black pieces and he played the exact same line.
After Ng5 I thought to myself: What a cheap trick! I know want you want to do! BAM d5! threat neutralized. Then ed and then I took back with the knight and I thought, I had a decent position.
Then he sacrificed the knight on f7 and I was just sitting there with my mouth open. I got destoyed in that game.
But seriously as a beginner to come up with Na5 instead of Nd5: is nearly impossible unless you saw that line before.
100 points isn't really that much. And maybe that 1300 us on the upward trajectory. It's easy to get stuck on chess.com, so many good players.
There's no way to take this thread seriously. The original poster was a 2000+ blitz player. To any and all who might actually wonder this, of course it's more than possible. It's probable that at 1300 you'll beat some rated up to 200-250 above you. Especially at the higher time controls where patience pays off and there's time to see the whole picture. I'm just getting back over 1300 down from a high of around 1400 something. I've had wins over 1500-1600. As others have said, not consistently. That being said never let an opponent's rating affect your play.
beacause the website allow players choose their start rating , so there is alot new user rated very high but played very poor
I have frankly beaten players even upto 200 elo points higher. Not consistantly of course, but I have occassionally in Rapid.
