      Can't believe it because statically it's impossible. You can look at odds of one player beating another by using elo. After about a 500 point difference, the lower player has no chance of winning. Sure there are good days and bad days for players. Other than that there is no luck. Here is a 700 point difference...if lower player loses you can bet the farm there was cheating.

    I watched these games first on Stanz's channel and kept scoffing at their moves. "This man was rated 1200??" But then Lud would suddenly step on the gas and start making better moves than even I saw. I really started grappling with my own hubris: who am I to act better than these men? These brave chess warriors?
