I challenged a lot of titled players and even the youtube chess agadmator, no one seems to accept 😞
They have a lot challenges, and I think that game with someone with so much lower strength would not give them anything.
Please define "noob" - imho does not exist because in chess is all relative.
I do have a title, maybe I am decent but still average - and I will remain a patzer in the eyes of the GM.
Well we (titled players) are just people who enjoy playing so challenging us should give you a good chance to get a game - at least it works with me. :-)
I am open for challenges from everyone, doesnt matter what rating and you decide whether you want to play rated or casual. Just go ahead and match me, but please only in the time controls I play (1+0 or 3+0), sorry no rapid or classical.
See you then, on the virtual board.
The easiest way to play against a title player is, jumping in a tournament, they'll be forced to play against you with no abort button. But, yeah, at some point people don't end up getting paired with them but most of time, you'll have your chance. ♥
The second most common way to play against them is a simul. I played with a nice man IM @dreamsambitions. He's pretty nice to play against any of the players. I jumped in his simul.
I don't personally challenge any of the high rated titled players, because I am aware they gonna whoop my ass, anyway, lol.
Cool
I have played with a few titled players.
Join @lance5500's simuls. you are guaranteed to play him, and he won't decline. He even accepts average players (i didn't want to say bad, as that might be a little rude to some people ) such as me, if you see my blitz rating. Also @mysterious_expert makes simuls, so you can join those too.
I don't often accept challenges at all. If i am looking for a game and get a challenge in this moment it is very likely that i accept. But if not - sometimes lichess is running all day and i play only 3 games.... very i likely i don't even noticed a challenge in a momemt i am not ready to play.
And if i do like to play rapid then i don't play bullet and vice versa. Both happens...
This is kind of rare, but it has happened to me a couple of times. ( I rarely play titled players here ).
So I just put out a seek, and once in a while a titled player accepts the seek.
It so happens the titled player is new to the site and has a low temporary rating, lower than me - even though the guy is much better than me and almost certainly going to kick my butt.
So I have to lose rating points ! ( Not that I really care - it's probably just a few points, and I don't play for rating points anyway ).
I should add that I am very grateful that a titled player has taken the time to have a game with me.
See my book marked games, they are all titled players (except few interesting games)
