Can I play 100 <1200 players and inflate my rating too?


In a rated game Reb will not gain any ratings points for a win against a player rated less than 1200.

It is not beyond the realm of possibility some opponents may draw or win and Reb would lose ratings points.


 I would venture to say that it is, assuming honest play by all participants.

Your chess.com rating is 1648. Imagine playing 100 games against players less than or equal to 400 (this is virtually random moves). Do you think you have good chances to sweep all 100 games? I would say chess.

Add to that the fact Reb is a master, and the fact that chess ratings are not linear (i.e. a 2400 level player is not just twice as good as a 1200 player) and I would bet good money on Reb sweeping the series (if I was sure of honest play by all participants and that the <1200 level was based on a sufficient large sample with no sandbagging.)

lol. make that "I would say yes" as opposed to "chess."

I am not addicted to the game or anything.

Ok, a couple updates:

1) Now open to under 1300 instead of under 1200.

2) All games will be unrated as some people pointed out.

3) Reb will have white in all games, so when the time comes to issue your challenge to him, please select black as your color.

Thanks!

pmk- now you are eligible, would you like me to enter you?


Dpruess:

How many are eligible and signed up now?  Any indication that the games will start soon?

pual good question about who is nm reb i looked him up on google and i couldn't find a thing about him who knows he may be lying


 This is very strange, because when I google my own name I get a lot of hits and all are chess related. Maybe you are googling " reb" instead of my real name which I give in my profile ? Undecided
