clunney, you must be refering to your USCF rating?

clunney

Yes, of course! :) my chess.com rating is... Unimpressive, to say the least (but I think most people's OTB rating is higher than their chess.com).

1200 players think 900 players suck. 1600 players think 1200 players suck. 1900 players (hey, that's me!) think 1600 players suck. And 2100s think 1900 players suck. And masters think all of those players suck. All in all, 1200 players aren't that much better than 900 players. They both suck, in fact I'm not really sure what differentiates them...

 

This thread is stupid.

I was meant to be stupid for laughs.

How about we ban everyone above 900 because they are ruining the low-rated experince?

a bad chess player is realitive to what you compare them to. like if i was to play my neighbor he would think i was a pretty good chess player. but if i was to play like a tournament player they would probly see me as you see the 900s. no one has to play anyone they dont want to ,so just leave them alone until they get better and we will play some of em as they pass us by in rating as im sure some willSmile

How about just banning Idrinkjusttobestupid.

Chess is nothing but moving pieces of wood or plastic on top of another piece of wood or plastic.  Winning, losing, ratings, strategy, rules, and objectives are all social constructs and therefore not real.  Thus, you are no better than a 900 or a gorilla.

One day they will develop the skills to perfectly match you in a game of chess, if they do not improve, well I guess they will quit out of boredom.

Wild gorilla might try eating with fork and knife out of curiosity but definately that will not turn into habbit.

Better leve those miserable guys to find the right path themselves.

But then all new members would be banned.

CheetahFast

yes

also even if some low player playes a highplayer its a good experience and they might learn alot and get motivated to beat that person one day

and with that experence they can get over the rating

Good one! If you join chess.com you are banned immediately. Clowns rule on this pile of garbage.

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

Have you ever seen a forum with Idrinkyourhealth? It's like watching a slug trying to speak English. People with this low IQ are out of control... making the stupidest forums. My ears are bleeding even though I'm seeing, not hearing, the text. Somebody should take control of this situation... he is destroying chess.com and we can't allow this.

I'd love to see an added feature to chess.com - as well as the "Top Rated" game between the two highest rated players, can we also please show the "Least Rated" game between the two lowest rated players. Everyone can do with some light relief from time to time!
