New Identities

Sort:
Avatar of Peter_Petrelli

Why do so many members voluntarily close their accounts and then open a new account using a different user name and identity? I'm interested to hear from someone who has done this and why.

if you have a super high time out rate like i do (40%) you can't enter tournoments, so u might get i new account for that.

Maybee they've gotten better and would like to start with a fresh rating -

On FICS the typical reason that people do it is because the previous account "got in trouble" and they want to bypass any sanctions.

Not _that_ applicable here, but food for thought.

I've done it because I took a break from chess for a while. When I decided to come back, I thought my old rating was inflated for who I am. So I decided to start fresh and see what happens.
