What's funny is, IMO, it's more likely for a random move generator to beat Carlsen than an experienced low rated player.
This is because a low rated player has internalized certain rules and methods that will make the likelihood of playing certain moves zero... and sometimes the best move is a 0% move... but a random move generator will always have a possibility of playing the best move.
Okay I know this is a bit out there but bear with me. Obviously on any given day in rapid/blitz/etc. Magnus could probably wipe the floor with me. Also I am not necessarily talking about me specifically but in general relatively lower ranked players who have a decent grasp on the game as not to be a complete beginner.
In theory, is it possible to beat Magnus Carlsen as a 700 chess.com ranked player? Like if given classical time controls and actually playing each move carefully taking as much time as necessary to avoid blundering. I know everybody blunders once in a while even GMs and I've also seen a few times on this site where somebody low ranked gets lucky and beats someone significantly higher in rank than them. So if Magnus is just having a slightly off day, the beginner is hyper analyzing every move, and there is plenty of time for said "beginner" to fully blunder check, would it be possible? Could I even?
