Chess.com tourneys

I have an idea some of you may find interesting.

Perhaps it is possible to shift chess.com tournament groups rank limits a bit. Say 100 pts. As I (for example) am stuck between 1600 and 1700 (closer to 1600 most of the time) being always in 1600-1800 group gives me no chance to advance to the next round. 1800 players on the other hand play against weaker players all the time. If you could shift limits by 100 pts in some tournaments (groups 1500-1700, 1700-1900 etc) it would be more interesting to play in them as more players would have some chances to fight for next round.

I write this post feeling low after another lost game in the tournament so all those who would like to accuse me that I just want to improve my feelings by playing with weaker opponents are quite right. It would be more fair though as the weak ones would sometimes be the strong ones and vice versa.

I hope some chess.com staff member will read this post and that you will think about it when you prepare next chess.com tournament in which I will surely participate no matter what group limits you decide to use.

I like the tournaments the way they are. im not saying this is a good idea but some people (me) like to play stronger players I think it is better to learn.

You could even name them "Chess.com Offset Tournaments". I like the idea.

Granted, I haven't played yet even in one official chess.com tournament.

Exactly. So why not giving those stronger players that you play now oportunity to play stronger than them ones? Now they play all games with weaker opponents. Also you would return the favor by playing weaker ones in some tournaments.
