As an average chess player, my dream is to play a grandmaster. I have sent challenges to many of them, but none have responded. Have any of you played a GM or any other master on chess.com?

Probably the easiest way is to watch chess.com chess.tv ("Watch" on the sidebar) and watch your favorite GM streamers. Every now and then, they offer challenges from the viewers or run simuls.

I have played titled players on and off chess.com. Never won or drew a single game 😂
Its been a while, but I used to find titled players advertising invites for simuls here and in lichess. It's usually for a small fee (I think I paid about 7-8$), but I think it's worth the money. Some would even record their game with you and send it to you with comments.

I have played titled players. They stream here and sometimes they play viewers and that is your best shot of getting a challenge accepted.
I have also defeated four titled players. https://www.chess.com/forum/view/game-showcase/are-you-a-complete-chess-patzer-who-has-defeated-titled-players-here-is-a-thread-to-sh
The games are listed there. Thx for letting me show off.

Unfortunately non of them are GM.
OP, once you get better like 2000-2200 ratings, you will get pair with GM in live chess or other tournments.
Or else, pay GM as a coach and play with him.

I never said GMs. I said titled players.

Please read OP thread twice! He is asking about GM.
You are posting links unrelated to GM.

Of course, I did multiple times in livechess.
, I sometimes saved a few games that I won against GM.

Dude for once take your own advice and read the OP. He says "GMs or any other master".
Hence what I posted is not unrelated to anything the OP asked.
Now Pipe down.
I have only played 4 GMs in my life. All were slow play games. My record was 4 wins and no losses or draws.

I've already written "The Elo Fallacy", don't make me write "The GM Fallacy" 
Having said that, there is some "magic" that happens from the FM level and upwards, masters have mastered the game and are able to produce sensible games where, let's say, one mistake is enough for a win against perfect defense. Having said that, it is very common even for GMs to commit several mistakes especially online as games "do not matter". When you are ready, the master will find you

A GM who beats you and an untitled 2000 rated player who beats you will play the same move 99% of the time. In other words if you're not close to GM level they can't use their GM skills against you. They'll just be playing the standard punishment of whatever nonsense you play, and that can be done by players much weaker than GM.
Just sayin'
Lol, +1, , if you hang a queen, 1200 will take your queen, 2000 will take your queen, GM will take your queen.
All the same.

i have a number of times. i've only played a gm once and lost badly in a lightning game but via the us chess members only group on here i've gotten to play a lot of national masters and candidate masters as well as an international master a couple of times. quite a few nms play regularly in the blitz and rapids they run and is rare for a blitz section to not have at least a couple playing. you've got to be high enough to be paired with them (around 1500 or 1600 usually) but if you're around there you're fairly likely to get one round 1.
