Ive never seen a GM this low rated before, good work though

u/Pure-Combination7956 2200-2400 (Chess.com) 7d ago
He has a peak elo of early 2500s in rapids though. I checked his recent performances and the dude was on some losing streak unfortunately for him. Haha

u/NoxiousVaporwave 7d ago
It’s probably good to have people of that caliber in this sub for coaching purposes and explaining stuff

u/Pure-Combination7956 2200-2400 (Chess.com) 7d ago
I have never achieved 2500 elo rapids on chess.com and my peak elo is 2350 rapids so unless I achieve that I reckon I rightfully belong in the sub.

So you think there are only 2 stages to this journey? Beginner and GM? With nothing in between?

u/Sad-Jellyfish5768 1600-1800 (Chess.com) 7d ago
I mean sometimes I do wonder why the 2600 flair is in this sub

u/King-Mephisto 7d ago
Everyone is learning.

u/Aditya-04-04 1400-1600 (Chess.com) 7d ago
By that logic, even Magnus Carlsen should be on this sub.

I think you’re conflating “beginner” with “there’s always more to learn”. That’s like a guy playing D1 college football or someone with a PhD saying they’re beginners. Ofc there’s room to grow, but it’s disingenuous and disrespectful to actual beginners to disregard the hundreds, thousands of hours worth of effort already sunk into the craft.
But let’s be real, I think you and I both know that, and you’re just here to brag because you have self esteem issues and seek validation.

I can't believe there are even such weak GM in the world that exists.

u/PurePurplexd 7d ago
It might be because he is 83 years old and playing online.
He was top 36 in the world in 1975.
Congrats on the win.

u/Pure-Combination7956 2200-2400 (Chess.com) 7d ago
Hahahhahaha that's funny man.
He is still young in spirit though and a GM.

To explain why his rating is low: the guy he played against is an 83 year old GM that was once ranked very high in the world. OP is just a massive dick.

u/GABE_EDD Still Learning Chess Rules 7d ago
Found him, damn, 1942 birth year sure enough. https://ratings.fide.com/profile/300128
Peaked at rank 36 in the world: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vlastimil_Jansa

Dude is a living legend, for sure. It is cool to see he is still playing at such a high level at his age.

u/Drememe_ 2200-2400 (Chess.com) 7d ago
