What's the highest rated player you have ever beat?

like infinite monkey theorem, if you play enough games, you will beat much higher rated players from time to time, its unavoidable ;)

i did beat two 2312s in bullet, here is one of those games, opponent handicapped by berserking, but still im not supposed to win, and as you can see we played more blunders than sane moves. we both blundered the queen and when he was in a winning position, while walking around with his king, he didnt see a sudden mate with 5 seconds left on his clock:

without opponent berserking, i did beat a 2044 in rapid, mate in 18 moves, opponent played handicap opening englund gambit, but still...:

You beat 3200 Firouzja? I call BS

That's not BS. I saw that game live. He played a guy named Firouzja3200, who had a rating of 900.
Wait, you actually thought he beat Alireza Firouzja? I call this misunderstanding BS.

When I had 1556 point I beat a FM with 2505 in bullet ( a difference of 949 points). Like a top 50% besting a top 1%. But that was time.

on this account

Both were FMs.

2404 on my alt account

Can't prove but I know I beat a GM who was rated 2800+ in Blitz. He berseked and he lost by time. We were all equal!

1532 in ultrabullet. Lost by checkmate on move 7.

I won him 5 times but lost him once and got -24 rating

To berserk you have to have participated in a blitz tournament it says you’ve only joined ultra and atomic tournaments.

You really thought this was my first account? Nah I joined Lichess back in 2020 and had so many accounts but after days I moved to other devices so a new one again. I even had 1600 on UltraBullet but soon had to stop chess and didn't forgot my account but didn't remember my password.
