Anyone else think the Chess Mentor rating system is way too generous?

James 1011 why don't you just keep getting wrong answers until your rating is accurate?

P.s. Nobody else equates chess mentor rating to actual chess rating.

Chess Mentor & tactics training was the reason I pony-ed up for a paid membership. Have raised my online rating about 200 pts since. Not sure if it was the mentor or tactics though.

And yes it is generous, but I manipulate it by solving all the easy lessons.

Current points I usually get➡

1300 rated problem and under ➡ 0 points for right answer & -3 up to -12 for wrong

1400-1500 ➡ +1 to +3 for right answer & -1 to -3 for wrong answer

1500-1700➡ +3 to +10 for right & -1 to -3 for wrong

1700+➡ +5 to +15 for right & 0 to -3 for wrong

You have got to be the most STUPID person ever. I'm not going to PURPOSELY mess up on chess mentor! I'm going to get even less accurate results! I want the chess mentor rating to change, that's all. Who's with me?!

It tells me that either all of you are terrible at being open minded or that I just suck at debate.

OK, so lots of people think the chess mentor rating system IS actually accurate. However, where's your proof? You need EVIDENCE. Show me WHY the chess mentor rating system isn't way too generous! If you have nothing, you don't have an argument!

I disagree with James1011James1011 on the fact that the rating is relevant or not. He thinks it´s relevant, I think it´s not. I won´t even discuss if it´s accurate or not Smile

Wow, you're harsh. I opened this forum to have an intelligent debate with the good people of chess.com, and you turn this into a flame war. Plus, since you're defending your point despite the fact you know that I'm right and you're wrong, I guess that DOES make you closed minded, since you're taking in nothing I'm saying. Goodbye, you good for nothing troll. I'm going to block you.

Do some of Silman's lessons, your rating will go down. The explanations are crappy. I just scored 85% and -3 on rating after getting 11/12 in a Fischer game, including one move that was better than Fischer's (credited as such).
