Have you ever seen a match between a 672 and an 720? ... is like watching a wild gorilla trying to eat with fork and knife... Players rated under 900 or 800 are out of control... playing their noobish short term moves producing you pain in the eyes. My eyes are bleeeding. Somebody should take control of this situation... They are destroying chess and we cant allow this

Might as well ban them all.

I think you're totally right

I think we need to go further and to prohibit playing chess to anyone rated less than 2200 FIDE.

You better not lose another blitz game then.

There should be a rule

I'm not saying this isn't a great idea, but, how do you propose to enforce this? 

Easy. When a player's highest rating on chess.com drops below 900, they're banned,  and their account is automatically deleted.

This is a really stupid this guys. I mean when you first started what were you automatically 1800 or something? Come on you have to start somewhere.

Ye, maybe this would be the solution to the problem

Avatar of Idrinkyourhealth

You start with theoretical 1200, which is more than enough

I think if your online rating is under 1900 then you should be slaughtered like a lamb, with your pieces and parts being fed to the better players.

Houdini and Stockfish are saying the same of all humans...

I mean in general - there should be a rule that requires a 900+ rating to play chess, we would all get benefited of it and the game would gain a minimal prestige ...thats what i think

Just because they have a rating of under 900 does not mean they are horrible at chess. I know someone who is rated 700 something and they are under rated they can sometimes beat me.

Want a blitz game? If you lose, you must quit chess.

You guys are just being rude. Everyone starts somewhere. I mean live chess isnt accurate. Your online rating could be 1200 and in real life ur USCF rating could be 700.

I'm sorry you are forced to watch the games of players rated U900. Is that a new basic member requirement, along with looking at advertisments?

No problem Zsofia_D and Martin is right. Your not forced to watch people under 900. Or is that a new requirement? If it is i will check.

Calling you a Clown would be a complement, so I won't say anything right now.
