Hi, I'm 11 years old, my father have a FIDE chess rating of 1600 and he taught me alot about chess, but crazy thing happened when I beat him yesterday. Is it possible for a titled player to have a game with me? Kindly thanks for reading my article.

P/s : If I got a chance to play with a titled player, I will beat [edited- jbf} them.

How cute. 

No disrespect to your dad, but fathers have been known to play less than their best to encourage youngsters such as yourself.

You have a rapid rating here of 611.  It seems highly unlikely you would beat a titled player.  Ratings statistics are pretty good at predicting chess results.  However, anything is possible. 

Yes, there are possibilities to play titled players here.   However, there are only thousands of titled players and there are many millions of untitled players.  And most of the titled players are trying to get better at chess too.  So not many of them hang out and play low rated players all day.

Earlier this year, the site had a leagues competition where you could often find titled players playing much lower rated players in arena tournaments.  However, that competition is past.

The best way at this time is probably to watch titled streamers  They are often willing play subscribers and those who make financial contributions.

You can also hire a titled player as a chess coach and they will probably play some chess games with you.

That is so sad, I'm financially strapped so I couldn't hire a coach or give chess streamer money.

It's not sad.   If you are serious about chess and spend a few years trying to get good at it, opportunities will undoubtedly come along when you are a little more ready for them.   

/ You just got a diamond membership.   Why not take advantage of it?

My experience with such things has not been very fun. Low rated players usually want long time controls (longer than the higher rated players wants) and it's about a 50/50 chance they cheat.

There's really no reason to play a beginner, especially when they're rude like the OP.

Why are you being condescending to a kid on your mod account?

I was wondering the same thing. Not the right example being set by a moderator. Unimpressed and disappointed.

Gorbachocolate why do you continue to spread lies? It’s quite obvious who the troll is. My god, kids on this site.

It wasn't condescension.  I guess it was a little sarcastic because of what he wrote that I had to edit... which was not cute....

... ok to be honest, if this is your response, then you shouldn't be a mod...

Not that it's any of my business...

Yes I did. He said "I will beat the s--- out of you"

Regardless of if I'd seen it, your literal job is to deal with it. Giving kids sass for a job you signed up to do makes no sense to me, and in any case I haven't seen mods behave like this here.

Not that I care enough to do anything about it... I'm just saying...
