Who's the highest rated player you've ever be...

Just curious the best player (rating wise) anyone from RHP has ever defeated. Mine was nothing spectacular, I believe a 1700-ish rated player who just didn't see a mate in one. I'm sure some people on here (Northern Lad, Korch, Greenpawn, etc.) have maybe beaten CMs, Ms, or maybe even an IM or two

I've beaten GM Amir Bagheri in a 30 min game... He is not quite as good as he use to be though, below 2500 fide I believe.

edit: I would like to point out that he has thrashed me at least a hundred times before my one win.

Ha ha.

it's good to see my name mentioned in the same line as
Korch and Northern Lad but to be honest I'm just a hacker.

There are some very strong other player's on this site.
Don't be surprised if someone comes on and gives a long
list of GM's.

However....if you must know.

In serious one on one OTB games 1 GM and 3 IM's.
(one of the IM's I actually beat twice, so you could say 4 IM's)

I'm not givng the names'cos that would really be bragging,
and they might not thank me for reminding them that
I swindled all of them.

(One of them I know plays on this site - he never posts
but he has said 'Hello' via a PM).

Thanks for the mention though.😀

I've played an someone around 2200 like 50 times, with one win and 3 draws. My win was, however, in a 15 minute game; I don't stand a chance in slower games.

I hope he doesn't mind my saying so, but User 21234 has beaten Kasparov- why doesn't his profile boast of it?

lmao, wow if I had beaten the greatest chess mind of our time, you bet your sweet @$$ everyone would know it!!!

Because it was in a simul.

That and he hasn't written a profile period. Maybe he thought devoting a thread to it was enough and moved on?

I beat a GM in 3-min in the ICC Dos Hermanas qualifiers last year- Mikhail Golubev I believe, but he was having a REALLY bad day.

Highest USCF rated opponent I have defeated: 2394
Highest USCF rated opponent I have drawn: 2500

Both of these games occurred in the same tournament(!)
The first time control was 40 moves in 2 hours.

I defeated Weyerstrass, Northern Lad and woodworm in blitz (10 min. If I remember correctly)

Edit: Weyerstrass was clerly yhe best; he defeated me 2-3 times first

In simul it`s easier and also consist of some kind of luck. - When GM is making simul he usually makes his moves in blitz tempo against players having much more time to think on their moves.

Isn't it also quite rare for a GM to play against such a strong player as David in a simul?
I think in '89 David would have been around the 2300-mark.

I reckon there's an 89,5% chance that he is in the top 3 best players of all-time 😉
