Asked several grandmasters whether a 2100-rated player can be a useful second for a 2700+ GM. Most said no or sounded unsure.
But meanwhile, here's a position from a @GMJSindarov vs @rpraggnachess game where my 2100 student had analyzed this line about a year before the game – and his preparation went deeper than what the players had (he even had 15. Rh4 as clearly better than 15. Nh4 in his file).
If any top player is looking for a second who's actually good at finding ideas, feel free to reach out.
Happy to connect with him 🤝
