I was not aware that anyone on this site  is GM level chess rating - is
this true? 

Because if not, this is grossly misleading to anyone. Unless the games 
chosen are completely unlike chess, any top 20 GM can defeat anyone on
this site with ease - any game even remotely similar to chess. They dont
even need 48 hrs - just a few minutes to learn the rules. 


To be GM requires high level of tactical skill and strategical 
understanding. In fact this translates even to playing GO - though this IS
an example of a game very unlike chess that they may have difficulty with.


The only hope of beating a GM (or IM too), a game very unlike chess like
GO. 

 
It would be interesting though to challenge a GM in chess variants.
