I joined a chess tournament with 500 rating.

Amidst months of anticipation, the ruder_dk chess video has finally released. Whilst participating in a chess tournament he is VASTLY underqualified for, our protagonist (ruder_dk) finds himself encountering a multitude of scenarios, inflicting various emotional responses upon the audience. From rook blunders to sacrifices, this ruder_dk upload is sure to warrant the accolades of, "heart-warming," "entertaining," and, "life changing." You don't even need to bring your whole chair to watch this, you just need the edge.
Also, I'm releasing this on my birthday (August 11th!) so pls be kind.

In January 2023 I played my 2nd or 3rd tournament of my life and after wining 5 rounds in a row I was paired against the 2nd (at that time) Top Rated player of my country (Pakistan). He was a 2200 Fide rated FM I was only like 1900 on Lichess but luckily I beat him in just 14 moves and I got to know that the previous uncle that I had beaten before him was a National Master with a FIDE rating of 1800. I was so happy that day I couldn't believe myself and I also got the motivation to pursue my chess career

[@lorcha1237]

yeah this seems to happen a lot (not trying to diminish your accomplishment ofc) but my grandpa is around 400 Elo higher than me and I've beat him multiple times and I got a draw with a person 700 rated above me its probably the higher rated player underestimating the underdog

[@herobrine8763og]

@@lorcha1237or it could be the pressure to win, as a loss would be humiliating

[@plunderersparadise]

@@lorcha1237 that's in fact stronger player underestimating weaker. It happens not only in chess, but also in other games where so called ranking system works. Better players start to 'style' on weaker, which means they play non-efficient and that highers the chances of the weaker player to win. It happens so freaquently, that it's really boring to underestimate and style on the weaker player anymore. I would prefer to crush them even harder, but I'm not any good at chess.

I was the top rated player at my high school in the 1500-1600 range, but I had an arch-rival (but also good friend who I traveled to several tournaments with) that went to another school in the 1800 range who I never managed to beat. He could play blindfolded too! My biggest upset was when I beat a player rated 2071 at a rating of 1520. He played a Grunfeld defense, which gives you an idea of how dangerous that defense is for black.
