Is there a way to reset my chess rating besides losing a lot of games?

I would make a new account to "reset it" but I still want to keep using this account. (It's also against the rules/TOS so that's another reason why I won't make a new account.).

No, you can't reset your rating and purposely dropping ratings could result in account closure.

You can reset certain scores and points in settings.
