I'm more curious about the sort of mental state that makes someone rated less than 1100 on this site think he could beat Magnus Carlsen.
I am more curious about the fact that on such a silly initial post (not referring to the quoted text of course, but to the OP) we had 5 pages of comments...

You must be new here. 
You're thinking of Magnet Carlsen. Yeah he's terrible.
That he is playing like rybka with over 3100+ performance rating?
Actually it wasn't over 3100, it was just over 3000, so that definately means that NOLAUPT would be able to crush him.
Top 'players' on Chess.com are all cheats and are not even titled OTB (with few exceptions), i.e. not even 2300 (Fide Master). Considering that Carlsen is 2800 that's a 500 elo difference which according to the Fide rating system gives the lower grade a 5% chance to win. That means that if Carlsen played 100 games against a Fide Master he would win 95 and lose 5. This means that the odds would be even more heavily stacked against anyone on this site who has not got at least FM next to their name, NOLAUP might win 1 in a trillion^trillion. Obviously some 'top player' on Chess.com can beat Carlsen if they are running Rybka on four cores and leaving it to ponder for 10 hrs per day, duh?

i said over 3100 PFR when it was the 6th round or so.. i know its like 3006 after the tournament but during the tournament he had 3100ish
Also Magnus may not be winning in the Tal Memorial but hes sick.. and compare him to Nakamura.. Nakamura was sick and play sh*t while Carlsen sick and plays good still.
Oh okay sorry, misunderstood. We are definately in agreement with regard to his brilliancy though!
Chris Moneymaker was a no-name internet player until he won the World Championship of Poker.
A man by the name of Sultan Khan beat no less than Capablanca in an off-hand game circa 1920's. Sultan Khan was not a titled or rated player, and had in fact learned to play modern chess just 2 days prior to playing Capa (the good sultan had been using the older islamic empire rules established prior to 1497). After the match, Sultan Khan remarked that chess was an interesting diversion, but too simplistic to be taken for a serious profession.
In conclusion, any player is beatable, even carlsen, even by an internet no-name....
Poker and Chess are completely different. It's easier to master poker than it is to master Chess. The games have some similarities but are generally very different.
Any player is beatable; true, even Carlsen: but not by an 'internet no-name', at least not in a match. The odd person might win the odd game and it would still need to be one of the strongest players on chess.com to stand any chance of 1:100 chance.
With regard to another point: most of the 'top' players on Chess.com do cheat, I firmly believe that after looking over many of their games. Despite this even 2900 on Chess.com is not remotely comparable to 2800 Fide OTB, not even close.

You want names just look at the top players and title player games and you will see that he can lose to lot of people on this site. I think i will beat him in a seven game series
You are ignorant.
Do You think anybody on this site can beat him?
the cheaters could
do you mean beat him in a match, which in that case absolutely not, unless they use rybka which a lot of people do or just beat him once? In that case yes, because eventually he will lose once.
I'm pretty sure that no one on this forum could beat Carlsen in a, say, ten game match. But if you are talking about just 1 game, in my opinion, Carlsen could easily lose to one (or 10) members.
I have allready beaten Carlsen in a tournament in Norway when he was nine years old, and i was eleven :) Think im the only one here who beat him.
Its 10 years ago, we didnt write our moves down but could probably find som old tournament resaultlist or something. I will search and post it if i can find. Wasnt the biggst tournament, but ist still funny. It was probably 1.e4 e5. The only opening i used when i first started playing chess.
The answer is easy. NO. No one here can outplay Magnus Carlson because no one here has any means of inducing Carlsen to give up pursuit of the WC and take time out to even bother playing against them. Find him at the weekend swiss 
Perhaps the best chance would be to sneak into a simul if he is ever giving one, since there he would be playing with "two arms tied behind his back", not being able to give away any secrets of analysis, and being completely unaware of a GM in the crowd. Of course we are not talking match here, just a simple one game Chess "assasination". If someone were willing to do such a pointless prideless thing, and were a strong GM . . . yeah, right.
Oh wait, is Topolov still managed by Danilov?! 
NOLAUPT, perhaps you don't realize how good Magnus Carlsen actually is.Look at it this way,typically a chesscom rating is 200-600 points higher than a USCF, FIDE or CFC rating so if Magnus were to play on chesscom his rating would be AT LEAST 100 points higher than the highest rated player on chesscom.Carlsen is not your average high rated club player and a draw against him is unlikely for any of us at the present moment let alone a win.

ROFL DUDE..
No proof? just cause you from norway dont mean you played him.. look at your rating now.. 1400? BAHAHA, and you beat Carlsen? he was owning super gms at 11+ he was obviously good at the age of 9, so dont bullshit.

I was not aware you could bring Rybka to chess tournaments.
Looks like my OTB rating is about to get a whole lot better.
MAgnus carlsen is first of the unoficial live rating list
Do You think anybody on this site can beat him?

Owning Super gm´s at age 11? He didn´t even have his first GM norm then, and he didn´t "own" regular gms, and he surelly wasn´t owning Anand and Kasparov either.
If we play online Correspondence chess he could be beaten, if they play anything live then I do not think anybody here has a chance.
