I wonder what it feels like playing chess as a 2700+ player - is it a completely different feeling from when you play as a lower rated player. Like driving a sports car vs an ordinary one. Maybe one of the Super GMs can tell us :)
Maybe, or i think they are too busy driving their ferraris on the highway without speed-limit...: 9
lol I guess they feel more focused on always winning!
@hyper_nova It would certainly feel good to be the best in the world at what you do, but they literally pour their lives into chess (for the most part)
#5 same for a soccer player, a golfer etc, even a soul-death stockbroker. In short where you want to excel you need to pour your soul into it
From my limited experience (1 or 2 games in bullet) they much more technical and subtle.
I have played about 3-5 superGM depending on how you define it 3 of them 3000+ in blitz only drew one of them. They usually play consistently accurate finding a few things I have overlooked and maximize most of their advantage, but even they falter from time to time.
Maybe chess is different, but i was a world-class player in 2 online games and my experience didn't change compared to as a beginner.
