If I lose all my games

If I lose all the tournament games I'm playing right now, and perhaps end up with a zero rating, will ever hear the end of it?

I ask this because one guy has been gone for over two years, and people are still talking about his zero rating.

I guess I'll take this silence to mean no.

I saw your smoke signals from across the virtual forest, woodshover. You have done enough unforgettable things, woodshover, that your rating could be -1000 and it would be of no account. With forum topics like: "Why is my shirt blue?", and "Do chessplayers eat?", there is little doubt, you needn't add on to your legend.Laughing

 What's the big deal about 1000 anyway?

Sounds like Lenny Bongcloud.  I remember back in the day I even had the honor of playing against the man himself in a 'bongcloud invitational' tournament.

But on topic, I think it'll take more than just losing some tournaments to get a 0 rating.  It'll take like, months and months of concentrated effort.

There's a Lenny Bongcloud on here with a rating of 696.

I forget if he ever got down the whole way to 0.  Well... if it wasn't him it was some other guy Sealed

Oh man!  How did I forget... I was his 'best win' at one point.  When I was around 1400 (? forget) or so I challenged him to a game and resigned after playing about 5 moves.  He was not happy.

 It's obvious he was losing on purpose in the games I looked at. Strange.
