Ask Vishy Anand directly if he thinks a 1300 can beat a 2700 during his live lesson in the Prodigy Program this November.

Can a 1300 beat a 2700? Yes, of course. Anything is possible. Will he? No. lol
Though it can be the case that a 1300 will beat a 2700.
I did beat a 1300 yesterday. He started fantastic with a beautiful najdorf and came pawn up. Then he played a very strong and fine middlegame, with one active rook working hard- two pawns up. In the endgame I managed to activice my rooks and leveled it out.In move 55 it probably was a draw, but he thought he should queen first, and ran for it, letting my pawn run too. He overestimeated his own speed, and made one error- going with the pawn before his king- I slided my king to his queeningsqare, and he resigned.
Next time he will improve his endgaming, and grow into a more complete player. A 1500+. He was clearly better than a 1465 in the first 40 moves.
The 1300s are decent , talented chessplayers, and most of them are kids.

Yes, they often attack me early on and I have to defend. However, after I defend correctly and their attack fizzles out, they are down significant material and it's an easy endgame win for me.

;y 1300 opponents doeant attack to early. The last one was basically smarter and better than me, especially in opening play. He3 had a won game after 40 moves, but it was only his late middlegame and endgzame that was worse. His problem probably is that he is so good at chess that he usually decides his games in 45 moves, and gets little endgame-pracis.
Magnus as a kid was the other way around. He was so bad at openings that he got forced to learn how to survive bad positions, and struggle him self into the game, then finish them off in the endgame. Just like I did on Sunday, but of course Magnus was fighting mastermonsters, when I only met a 1300 child.
My point, in this whole debate, is that 1300 fide is a lot harder to beat than most non-otb tournamentplayers thinks. 1300 fide is ca the same strenght as 1700 online-chess.com. Of course 1300 is far too far away from 2700, but they are strong.
I wouldn't go that far. Maybe a 1300 FIDE is about 1450-1500 on chess.com (Glicko). Kids are usually much better than their ratings are though, since they improve faster than their ratings can keep up with. So, he might be a 1700 Glicko player by now, this is true.

I am a middleaged 1465 Fide, and 1720 online. I feel my chances are much better against 1600 online than 1300 fide longchess.
You are right about those kids playing better than their rating. I was very happy when I defeated that 14 yo 1345 on sunday. Except for his endgame he felt like 1600+.

Well, the endgame is a big part of chess, especially when you move up in class. So, if his endgame is weak, that might explain why he's only rated 1300 FIDE. Ratings are accelerated on chess.com though, because of two factors: 1. Most people play a lot more games on here than they play OTB tournament games, so their rating is more up to date. 2. The Glicko (chess.com) rating system allows for larger and quicker changes in your rating, compared to FIDE, USCF or ELO. I am a 1470 USCF player, but my actual playing strength now is probably around 1700-1800. None of my ratings have caught up to my current strength yet, since I study chess more than I play these days. I don't pay too much attention to a player's rating when I decide on my opening or my style of play though. A Grandmaster could be playing his very first game on chess.com and still be rated at 1200. So, I certainly don't take any 1200's lightly.
"I am a 1470 USCF player, but my actual playing strength now is probably around 1700-1800."
And I'm an expert but my playing strength is probably as if I were an international master.

His endgame was not close to the very good openingplay and fine middlegame. I think that goes for many kids. If they play a lot blitz, the openings gets a lot work, and the games are often finished or decided on time before a long endgame. A 1300 is often a good player with large holes in the reportoire. My opponent will grow a lot strenght working on the endgame.
The fact that 2700-rated grandmasters routinely run up 100% scores in simultaneous exhibitions against 30 or more 1500-2000 rated players might give you some hint
I dont think all the 2700s is capable of 100% simultanscores every day. When GM Jon Ludvig Hammer was at 2700 or 2695 he played simultan in my club. His score was 11,5-1,5 against the kids (rating from none to 2100), and 18-4 against the adults (rating ca 1200-2100). The winning kid was Timur Gusarev, unrated, maybe nine years old.
Even Magnus can lose in simultan. He lost to Jens Erik Rudolph (1891) in a 70 game simultan.

Well being unrated we don't know what his strength actually was so thats a wildcard but good link very insightful. pretty cool
coicidiently before someone bumped this thread I just made a thread on this topic since i am only rated 1300 but i compiled my best wins on here over 2000+ including a 2300 an IM and a CM in blitz . check it out and leave a comment!

It was very unexcpected that Timur was the one to take him down. Timur is a smart little kid, but there were stronger kids that lost.
It was impressing that Hammer was able to defeat Andreas Garberg Tryggestad in a simultan. The next year they met in a lonchessgame at Arendal Grand Prix, and it was a draw. In that tournament Andreas, Jon Ludvig and GM Kjetil Lie was top three , undefeated with 4 points each.
I guess Hammer put so much energy against the superkids, that to little focus was left for the smallest.
A nine year old unrated kid is absolutetly strong enough to punish a blunder in the late middlegame and set a mate in three, no matter how strong the GM is.
I had the pleasure of watching GM Nakamura sweep a field of 38 players, most of them rated quite a bit over 1300, in about two hours. In the opening, he took about 5 seconds at each board, yet at least 10 of his opponents were in serious trouble before move 10. The difference in class was overwhelming.
Many GMs play second best moves in simuls, to give the kids a chance. This is very sporting, and I applaud it, but it does distort the results
Nakamura, Carlsen and Gristchuk are very difficult to beat in simultans, that for them has blitztimecontrols and long or rapid for the opponents. They are the best blitzers, and plays blitz att master longchess-strenght.

linking to that thread directly answers and contributes to the content and subject of this thread. It is 100 percent relevant and provides a little examples of the exact topic. If i link to it a few times it just because i know people don't usually read more then the last post especially in a 6 year old thread.
Now that all that has been explained, where do i report you for being a j@ckass
Yeah, the OP is stupid, everything is possible. WHAT A STUPID QUESTION. If this question didnt exist chess.com wouldnt had have to buy so much new servers to storage all this data.
