Luck plays a larger role in chess than most people imagine.
Is there any chance that a 1300 rated player can beat a 2700 rated player?
Sort:
Especially if you attempt to define more precisely what is meant by "luck."
No ZERO
sure there is a possibility . that a 1300 can win a game
i beat a 2000 once
If the 2700 wants to resign because he is in a hurry, the 1300 won. It's probably an unrated game anyway.
Not really!
A 1300 player probably will have a 50-50% chance against a 2700 player only with a at least a Queen and rook odds.

Well maybe if that 1300 rated player is some kind of chess genius and he just started competing on FIDE tournaments.
Maybe in a simultanous game. Or as snowberg pointed out a new chess genius who just started on FIDE tournaments ... 
Would be quiet funny to see.
have patience buddy a player who is 2700 right now... was 1300 at some point of time

Not necessary! This 2700 player could as well be first rated at 1800. It depends on the rating rules of that country!
On a FIDE rated tournament with a performance you could easily be rated far above 2000 ELO!
Hey guys I have seen an 800 beat a 2400!!
Is there any chance that I could get Anne Hathaway to date me?
he is still dreaming...
Actually of course it is possible for a 1300 rate player to beat a 2700 rated player. [I mean that should be obvious]
Everone is talking about the 2700 player making a blunder, but the 1300 player is more likely to blunder!
I've beaten a 2400+ player.
Of course, I beat him when he was a little kid... several years before he became a strong chess-player.
ponz, I'm surprised you have that super theoretical opinion (as I do) and yet you do seem to believe there is zero chance of saving certain positions (from our resign discussions)
Yes, it is my wife, next to me. [ she is a very good wife!]
Elubas, and I never said there is zero chance of saving those positions from our resign posts. You seem to equate theoretically lost or easy win or very easy win that a novice could do with zero or 100%
Those position we discussed and taking into account who was playing them their best chance was that their opponent would die or be incapaciated or something like that and that is certainly not zero.
Heck, lightening cood strike the superior side- so you will not catch me saying something is impossible. Reread our conversations.
Luck plays a very small role in chess...
Depends on semantics...
