Is there any chance that a 1300 rated player can beat a 2700 rated player?

This thread is so old even goldendog has posted here before he left. Geez.

Nor do I see you losing to a 1300. Also, your wins against 2700+ are gonna be pretty rare. When they occur, you are likely shooting over 2500 through a couple of events.

Give any 2400+ IM that is in good progress white pieces, and the chances of beating strong GMs are good.

I think its difficult to beat players 600 elo up, but it happens every second year to me. Which means I must improve up to 2250 before playing MAGNUS. 1400  elo up is more than I can digest. Even a 2550 GM is absolutely impossible.  They looks like supergeniouses.

This thread is so old.....

lot of shakespeares work was plagarism from beverly clearly

And they couldnt take En Passant

Of course they are gonna be pretty rare right now (but 2700 is the aim), the rating is something you don't get by free, if a player has 2700 its cause he is used to kill -2700 players,

you are completely right about 2500-2600 GMs, in fact i have 8 games in a row without losing to GMs (3 victories and 5 draws) and not just with white (4 W and 4B i think) but when the GM is 2600-2700 things get harder and 2700+ i still have to improve to get decent results against this rating although i have never played a 2700 player...

We have one IM like you in my club, IM Johan Salomon. He is roughly your age and has roughly your rating. This summer he became Norwegian champion , ahead of GMs and IMs. Rating isnt the real current strenght, it is a number earned in previous games. Which means that players in progress plays somewhat above their own rating.

"Which means that players in progress plays somewhat above their own rating."

We know this, but we are excluding such players from this question.

tbh i would take a 2700 without a queen 100/100 vs a 1300

You are excluding most of the 1300s I met. A generalisation excluding the majority isnt very general.  But it was young 2450s I wrote about now. Not 1300s.  An underrated 2450 can beat a 2700. Most hardworking 2450s in progress are underrated and a performingstrenght at 2550+ happens all over the world.

Brah there is no way for the 2700 player to lose brah. Topic closed brah. IM JRgascon brah good luck with your 2700 goal brah, I am only 789 FIDE player but I hope to get a title at some day too brah. Ciao brah.

consider this

i once beat my friend and i did not have a bishop

but i am also not a 2700 player

and my friend is not a 1300 player

"You are excluding most of the 1300s I met."

So I think your angle here is that it's not right to only talk about a minority of 1300s. But I would disagree with that premise. If the "right kind" of 1300 happens to be in the minority among 1300s, so be it. It's still what makes this question worth discussing.

another thing to ponder:

what happens if a 1300 beats a 2700?

will an earthquake happen or maybe world hunger might end?

Where is kayknight when you need him?

Elham Abdrlauf doesnt count, because he is a prodigy, and he is not 1300 but unrated in longchess so far,  

but he is extremely strong, and can beat very strong players.

He will never become 1300, because he plays one class up and wins that class, his first rating probably will become ca 2000. 

Such a situation has never arisen, so we've never known.
