    The main an only point is:

    I join a tournament 1400-1600 because I am 1550. I want to find only players of that strength, maybe 1300-1700, but not 2000+. That is why range tournaments are made for. If I didnt care, I would join an open tournament. So the complaint is about findind players in a tournament who shouldnt be there. 

     

    It is interesting to see, some months after this thread started, that you are in first place in the standings in this tournament.

    Yes, I have somehow understood that there are more than what we just discursed in this thread. In fact, I guess chess.com already had seen this problem and someone had already suggested what I suggested here, but chess.com hasnt done anything (with obvious things to be done, as minumun games played for example), because in one year, one can improve or just pay more attention to their games and think deeper. Anyway, I am happy to be that player (the one I was complaining about) to understand that is not a problem with easy solution.

    Rating should be baised on a % of won games . For the most part the higher rated players have been on the site playing longer thats all . I never get any anixxety going into a match against a much higher rated player. It is a great feeling when i take the wins ~! My rating has be steadily climbing in the months ive been on the site. When you see players with a rating of 900 and notice all there games are losses , it tells me 2 things. There still learning and will learn from mistakes and build there rating and there newbies here much like myself
