Thanks to some talk on a forum that got off topic a few people have been wondering if it is possibple to get a rating of zero, or what it would be like for all of us on the site to start at zero?

My gosh, now I'm scared! I hope that doesn't happen to me, but I'm already well on my way...

No no no.

 

I never spoke about a zero rating. Read the posting again

you didn't but some one else did

Was it me??

 

Give me a little more time and I'll be at zero too...  but then you know what, you can only go down just so far then the only way you have is UP...there is hope!!!

That's right! I guess I should be more optimistic.

no Callie it wasn't you

Are you sure?

yes

I don't think there's ever such thing as a 0 rating.

Hey, and RedSoxpawn, are you and owenscowens knowing each other in person, meaning in real life?

Not that I know of, but we might have come across eachother while she was here

this has gotten off topic I am going to have to delete this if I keep seeing posts that are off topic

If anyone gets a 0 rating, it will be those players who start up dozens of games and then lose every single one of them on time because they never log in again :/

A bowl of jelly would play stronger than a 0 rating. I mean, it would just sit there and wobble but surely thats worth a few points?!

 

On a serious note, the lowest national rating i ever seen in my country was about 750-810. I dont think you could go much lower, could you!? surely not 0 anyway. On chess.com however, 0 rating must be possible although wouldnt be easy. Its probably easier to hit 2000 ha 

I love thinking about a bowl of jellyfish playing chess.

/that is all.

//oooooh yeeeah. 

OMG If I got below 500 I would be making a new name  LOL   How can u seriously get that low..I have a backup name and I am ready to open it up heheh   but then again im not below 800 YET!!   I wonder who runs the lowest on this site...Owens you will get better, your getting there.  You could do it   it is all in the wholoe checkamte thing  =]

Erik might give that person 20 free hours of Chess mentor to help

HAHAHAHAHAHA

i dont thinlk i will but some other people surely are on their way!
