Is there any chance that a 1300 rated player can beat a 2700 rated player?
Sort:
Yeah I think there is no way a 1300 player can beat a 2700 player
Unless If the 1300 player has a good strategy and the 2700 player don't and messes around then the 1300 play would win

In theory, someone could play some obsolete line and even an elite player could fall into an old known trap. I didn't beat a 2700 player, but I did beat a Senior Master with a trick that would have made a C-player blush. We were both nervous and I played an old inferior line that he hadn't seen before because it was so bad, and i only played it because I forgot the book continuation. I sac'd a bishop and got it right back but I was a pawn up, eventually winning.
What was the game?
If the U1300 looks like Adriana Lima in her Victoria lingerie, the 2700 would prolong mate. Even when the queen is enprise or there is a mate in one, he would ignore it, just to prolong the game. I wont be surprise the 2700 lose on time ☺ Best time control would be classical chess time or almost 7 hours.

The 2700 has to be drunk, drugged and be shown some serious cleavage😎 To lose against a 1300.
We keep discussing the 2700. The problem is the 1300. That is a very low rating. I think a better question is can a 1900 (or 2100) player beat a 2700? The answer is still no. They would have to play hundreds of games and the lower rated player may score a draw (only in faster time controls) I've been as high as 2080 and a rating difference of 1400 points would be a 600 player. Folks, that's a huge rating difference. = not gonna happen.

You would think this (and similar stuff from other reasonably strong, but not outstanding, players) would end this silly debate.
But it won't!

Well there are a number of things one might expect to end this debate, but his post wouldn't be one of them, since it's not even correct!
You're both right. This thread is kicked. Enjoy!
A 2700 player is a patzer. There are at least 43 active players in the world who are better. 1300s rock! A mere 70% of the world's active tournament players can outplay such a person on any given day.
Of course,if the weaker player is consulting his little silicon friend...
I am at 1408 now, and if the caps score tells anything about my strenght, it is not very far away from very strong players in my best games. Yesterday I played a 5min 5 sec blitz scoring above 96. In my weaker games , which are frequent I of course is far, far below. One lousy tournament now, and i will drop down to the 13 houndreds. I have a feeling that the caps score isnt right. I do think that the grandmasters will make so hard complications that my caps score will fall below 50. It is much easyer to play good when we are allowed to play our own game.
I'll invite you all to ask this brilliant question to Vishy Anand in the Prodigy Program this month:

Anything is possible. I am sure even Magnus could beat a 1300 if he tried a little harder
I can't believe this thread has gone on as long as it has. The answer should be very obvious.

Not necessarily. It is true only if there is an infinity of universes.
Or the 2700 is Chucky in the mood to "chuck" pieces your way for free
1300s playes good games inbetween. I am 1408, and the last week I have several games with a Caps score above 95, three above 97. The best 98,56.
yes
Shaq is retired so excluded. Jordan and Howards free throws are like tossing coins 😎. Its rare to get 10 heads out of 10 😁
The odds are the same with each toss
