I appreciate your challenge. But if we're going to play a match, we might as well raise the stakes. The Candidates' Tournament for the 2nd Troll Chess Championship will be held late this year or early next year - see post #131 in this thread for details: https://www.chess.com/forum/view/tournaments/1st-troll-chess-championship-macer75-vs-computer2-medium?page=7. When the time comes, you can sign up for the tournament, and if you win, you will be able to challenge me for the title of Troll Chess Champion! How does that sound?

I appreciate your challenge. But I only play Computer1-EASY, not humans.

Oh come on, you made a topic about your rating and you won't play humans?

What a chicken!

I never said that I won't play humans. On the contrary, for the next Troll Chess Championship I probably will, since 7 of the 8 contestants in the Candidates' Tournament will be humans.

I've noticed this for a while now... every time you reply to a thread, it stops showing up under "Most Recent Posts." It's freaky!

Magic powers.

If most of your wins are against Easy level Computer then it is nothing to be proud about.

I agree.  It's only impressive when all of your wins are against comp1Easy

Haha! The joke is on you now! Sir Macer has no honour to defend as a chessplayer! Laughing

(you should try to pick on him on his "troll honour" or something like that)

Yes, that would be very impressive indeed!

This is no achievement anymore.

Nowadays, you can start at blitz rating of 1800 when you sign up. Then, just beat computer-easy a few times and you'll get 1800+. I wish I knew that you could be 1800 in all your ratings right from the start...

Yes, I knew someone would bring that up in this thread sooner or later. It reminds me...

On V3, you can see the percentile score of your ratings for each time control. Right now my blitz percentile is:

 

Tomorrow I'm going to increase my rating by 2 (by winning 2 games), and see if my percentile score jumps by a lot because of all of the people who joined with an 1800 rating. My guess is that people who haven't played any games aren't included in the global stats, but we'll see.

Well, we have our answer now. My percentile score did not jump significantly.

So today I played 6 games ... scored 5 wins and 1 draw (not in that order) ... and my rating dropped by 6. It really feels unfair to me. If I win 6 straight games I only get +6, yet if 1 of those games becomes a draw - and not even a loss - the net result becomes -6. Now that is just cruel if you ask me. But hey, what can I do about it? I just have to be more careful in the future.

Ever heard of filtering your challenges so you get higher rated players?
Erik_02

You lost 11 points on a draw. Heh heh heh, that's awesome.

Look at his history, he doesn't send open seeks, basically a troll topic.

Seriously, what is the point in beating Computer EASY in every single game?

This just defies logic. Surprised
