He has yet to play a single game. Delusions of grandeur it seems.
Is there any chance that a 1300 rated player can beat a 2700 rated player?

yes, I'm quitting chess because of delusions of grandeur, it is difficult to tell who is delusional actually, it was not long ago they were telling me to quit playing blitz, with the same reasoning, and now apparently quitting is of no use either
lol

100 games means start, and then quit after you reach 100 
Or you know, log in with your old account... the one where "they" were telling you not play blitz.

Yes, unfortunately I have lost all the saved passwords when installing the new operating system back then, or was it some upcoming daily spam from nowhere, or both. Anyway, a fresh start is better than a fastidious one.

You might imagine the number of fresh accounts claiming to be high level we see around here.
A meme avatar doesn't exactly project an aura of maturity either.
For all I know you're Radjabov's secret chess.com account, all I'm saying is... it's really good cover lol

I know of a very remarkable performance where a 1441 scored a 4-0 in a tournament and beat a 1918, 2045, 2251, and a 1906.

he missed the fork*
Then he didn't miss the fork, he was wanting you to play the fork attacking his king and queen so that he can win...

2200 is a very tough nut. Many that break it find it very difficult to maintain.
It's been quite a challenge for me just to get to 2100. But it'll taste that much sweeter when I hopefully get to 2200 someday :) I think I have all the main ingredients to be a master, I just have to get really really consistent and put in the practice. But I'm very willing to do that. I'm ok now with having to think really hard and diligently all the time. That's how you get true improvement, regardless of your training regimen.
That's what makes chess (especially tournament chess) engaging for me. That constant stress you put on your mind keeps you occupied. There just isn't anything more mentally stimulating to me than the pressure of balancing time on the clock, calculating accurately, finding plans, knowing when to take chances, and putting it all together. It always pushes you to the limit and I love that. When you win a game, it's like you've been through an ordeal, but it's pretty cool that a board game can create that kind of effect!

(at West Point in the late 70s) my opponent rated 1800 plus could not believe that I was beating him... a real weakness is over-confidence & many players will just look at a rating and perhaps make dubious decision
Funny that about rating and underestimation. when you was 1400 a 1800 underestimated you and lost,
when I was at 1400 (recently, I am still there) I underestimated an 1800 and lost.
Always play against the pieces. Easy to say, except when facing a 10 year old or 90, handicapped or lower rated, don't we all tend to "underestimate", much to our demise.
Well, not always. The only sure thing about playing a 10 year old is it won't take too long, the result is another matter...

The comment from Hicetunuc is true - once the 2700 player gathers his or her thoughts after making a blunder, and focuses on the game, the 2700 player will win. The exception being a mate missed (obviously) or an endgame situation - as mentioned by another chess.com colleague above about a queen pawn endgame where the 2000plus player threw the queen away.
Otherwise, the chances are virtually zero.

I played and won a 90 min 30 sec game against a 10 year old. After ca 50 moves I had 15 minutes left on my clock. He had 86 minutes left.
I might face him this autumn too. If he spends more time, I am in big trouble.
Just do their best
Just lost over 100 rating points on chess.com again...

Not that I really care, but did anyone yet try to setup a perpetual match between a 2700 engine and a 1300 engine?
Yes and no. Yes, it's possible; no, it'll never happen. ;}
Edit: To explain my joke, this is how I see it...
I'm a 1400 player, know a few openings, the basic chess ideas, have inspired tactics and attacks on occasion. A 2700 rated grandmaster would eat me whole and not even burp. They know every opening, know positional play to a 'T', will tactically bully inferiors, and if by some miracle the endgame they have that covered to. It would be like throwing Chris Rock in the ring with Mike Tyson... Chris can dance around for a while, but eventually Tyson is going to corner him and knock Rock out. :P
it was not out of the ordinary for me to win against a GM in a 3' blitz game, I'm not that good though
Play 100 blitz games on here before the end of the month and maybe it will be worth reading what you have to say.
