Actually his current rating is 2227 not 2359 which is a significant difference.
Haha vvk1, I think 2015 is when bogeyhunter, Mr CEO of NexyUSA, won the state championship.

A side story but I remember when I was an up and coming 1100/1200 player. There was this guy who was 2100 in the club but because he had a car accident and missed playing, he developed his right hand to a 1700 level or so. I struggled with his left hand and thought I was getting close to beating it. Then one day I did. I felt good with myself. I had defeated his left hand!
But someone watching told me that he was messing with me and that he hadn't played his best left-hand game. I was puzzled when told that but was still happy I won. The next time I played him, I got smashed again as if I didn't know what I was doing. Today, since I can beat him 100% with if he plays with his left hand now, I can appreciate how good his left hand really was and what its strengths and weaknesses are vs. how I play. I really had no chance back then when I was 1200 even if I tried my best. But because I didn't get it, I might have been very demoralized if I hadn't been warned.
Nowadays, usually I play people with general shot quality. But when I really want to beat them, I try to reflect on what they like and don't like and really play their weaknesses hard. When he tries to beat you by playing your weaknesses, you will appreciate the gap in levels more sincerely.
I took a look at the OP, about to answer it, then realize it is irrelevant. The gap difference is so huge and people still want to offer advice.
The best advice is from someone who said be prepared to lose 0-3 and learn about how to be better. I have never beaten a player who is 300 pts above me. I may get a game or two if I am lucky .. very lucky.

I Was waiting for today to upload a video, sorry for the delay! I havent had time this week to go practice so...
It's not impossible, just it would be inaccurate. Imagine that someone with 90% win rate in...for example Hungary would have the same rating as someone with 90% win rate in China with roughly the same amount of tournaments in a year. But a standardized system would be good. Here in Hungary the rating depends on the amount of tournaments you participate. The best way to describe someone playing level is to tell a league+percentage combination.To add to this..... The USTT rating still boggles my mind when trying to compare to people in the UK - There should definitely be some kind of global ranking system (impossible I know).
