I always play with someone 50-200 rating lower than mine. Do you think that if I continue this practice, my rating will increase faster than playing with someone with higher chess rating?

I do this to feel less pressured while playing.(standard live game)

This practice will not help you improve your ability to play chess better. Are you attempting to improve your chess or sort of cheat to get a higher rating?    

I hope you're not accusing me for playing unfairly, as a cheater will never seek advise on how to increase his rating.

You failed to answer my question.

I think its better to mostly play above your level.  If you win, you get more points, if you lose, less points are taken away.  However, if you play a lower level and win you will get some points, If you lose, you will lose  a lot more points.

Hope I answered your question.

I should add as well that its better to play higher rating for the learning experience.  If you don't want the pressure, then play unrated for awhile.

The point is, whats the point of increasing your rating if you are only playing people rated lower than you?  If the purpose of your rating (from your perspective) is pride, then that's a good way to go, although it's kind of pointless.  If the purpose of your rating is to truly represent your playing strength then you should play people who are equal or better than you so that you will improve your playing strength.  I don't play much live chess but you will notice that my average opponent rating is higher than my rating because I almost always play opponents rated equal or better than me.  The only time I don't is in tournament settings where I have to play lower rated players.  I don't care what my rating is; I just want to improve my play.  You will probably lose more, but you will also learn more.

So in answer to your question, yes your rating will go up by playing inferior opponents, but your playing abilities will remain the same.  You will not learn as much.

I don't think what you are doing is cheating so much as it is self-absorbed--you want the higher rating purely for the rating's sake.  Meaningless IMHO.

Good logic. 

 I don't care what my rating is; I just want to improve my play. 

Like what you have said, rating is less compared to self improving, but I fear lots of people think that rating is equal to experience.

I was not accusing you. I asked a question, I did not make a statement. It is what you said, "...my rating will increase faster than playing with someone with higher chess rating?"  Let me ask you this: Wouldn't playing someone lower than you so you could increase faster be a form of cheating because you know that your possibilities would be greater for winning, thus raising your level in a false sense of gaining points?  That is a question and not a statement.

I admit that Kingwraith's answer was much more thorough and easier to understand than what I wrote.  I have a tendency to go to the point of the matter.  He made a statement that goes along with my question, and that was:

"If the purpose of your rating (from your perspective) is pride, then that's a good way to go, although it's kind of pointless."   Actually, that is what I was attempting to convey in a nutshell. 

Hey, don't take it seriously. Sorry for misunderstanding your comment. 

But I disagree to what you said  "you know that your possibilities would be greater for winning, thus raising your level in a false sense of gaining points."

In fact there are lots of my lower rated opponents who beat me. A few days ago I started to play having with the same level as mine, and surprised I played it easier though the pressure is more. Now I just want to hear some opinions if I will continue to play with someone having lower rating because it's not easy to disregard my habit. Thanks.

You get no prizes for having a high chess.com rating...

I was concerned that I offended you.  I have done that before to others, and that is the last thing I want to do.

Losing to lower opponents can be tough, at times.  I am teaching my wife to play chess, and she backrank-mated me, because I wasn't paying attention.  In fact, I didn't think she would see it. Ha, losing to your student is tough. So humiliating.  I didn't truly mind, however, because I was glad that she saw it.  No doubt she learned that more from watching Josh than from what I told her about it. 

I like that old definition of backrank-mate - chamber-mate. It always reminds me of when Queen Elizabeth found a man in her bed chamber.  One likes to think of all places that should be the safest. And the King likes to think he is safe in his backrank-chamber, too. 

You will generally improve faster by playing higher-rated players. Not extremely higher-rated, but just good enough to punish your mistakes so that you can eliminate them.

But your rating should, theoretically, stay about the same no matter who you play.

If you want to be a part of the group of people with a higher rating, play with them.

At the risk of being too obvious: over time your rating will reflect your playing strength, not the other way around. So the question you need to ask yourself is how do I get to be stronger? And I don't think a steady diet of weaker players is the right recipe

It is possible to have an overly inflated rating from playing too many inferior players tho.  I realize that over time you do not get that many points for winning games over inferior opponents but there is a difference between a person rated 1500 who always plays 1500+ opponents and a person rated 1500 who always plays under 1500 opponents...
