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

I ounce beat a 2500 player, but he said he was distracted and beat me five more times in a row.
So I guess it is possible.

BTW, how come this trivial subject has over 5000 posts?

But, I admit I am contributiog from time to time. Must have a lot of off-topic posts!

It's David vs Goliath.

What greater fantasy for all new chess players ?

Sky once beat a 2500 , who was distracted by a refrigerator falling on his head in a bullet game and guesses it's possible. We can all dream. Fact remains. It's impossible :-)

As soon as I saw your name, and before reading it, I knew what your answer would be. You are too predictable, Prof!

BTW, after posting, I also came, in an idle moment, to the Davd v G answer.

Glad sky had a win, BTW.

No. But there is a chance a 2700 can beat a 1300 player.

No wonder he was called Stormy Petrel!

Meanwhile, GM Wesley So rated 2800+ lost to lower rated players.

If the 2700 rated player was terrible at chess......

That's stupid.

A 2700 player is not terrible at chess.

They wouldn't be 2700.

Assuming that is a joke, however....

It wasn't funny.

Unless they were sandbagging!

True dat.

Maybe the 2700 loses his memory of chess..

A 1300 player can absolutely beat a GM!  The right moves are right there in front of him, plain as day, he just has to make 40 or 50 of them in a row.  You gotta think positive!

 I'm sorry to the 1300s but you just don't have even half of the grasp that a 2700 does. The stronger you become the more obvious this is...
