Add a penalty to losing games in leagues

Everyone is just playing with their brains turned off, all they want to do is get points fast so they play some [removed -- MS] aggressive opening, if they win great, if they don't they just keep trying because there is no penalty, literally the #1 guy in the wood leaderboards can convince you that, he is 900 rated in blitz, more losses than wins and all he does to get to that spot is play blitz.

LOL the joys of studying opening at your level. Makes no difference, if your opponent doesn't follow it.

Avatar of oPAWNo

An even if they did , would you really understand the ideas behind it?

Avatar of frenchiefrenchiefrenchie

That is not relevant to my suggestion at all

Avatar of oPAWNo

I hear you, what your saying is, they are not playing into your opening?. Your right it's not fair. Just report them.

My opponent plays aggressively . He should be penalised because I can't deal with it.

Not my point at all, I am talking about adding a penalty so people actually play a good game just look at this guy's W:L ratio https://www.chess.com/member/perol97, he is just mindlessly playing blitz all day, look at his games as well, the bad play continues right until to the endgame and yet he is at #1 spot

You have to be American right lol.

No I am not, not french either, the name is a reference to a video game character

Avatar of oPAWNo

That's a surprise, you complain like an American.

Either way, if you lose, it's because your opponent outplayed you. Vice versa. Stop your whinning.

You just aren't trying to understand what I am saying, I couldn't care less about the aggressive playstyle, like I said they are usually garbage and I win easily, I am saying it is too easy for people to grind league points and it takes no skill

Come Sunday, this will be a moot point.  Less than 100,000 people are going to be making it to Silver.  Oh, and by the way, with your standards Bullet shouldn't exist since people do exactly that in Bullet before this contest even began.

And now they do it in all time controls, you see my point?

Avatar of frenchiefrenchiefrenchie

And I don't understand your first point, to get to stone, you have to be in the top 20 in your division, if you aren't that means you are not really participating in the leagues, so nothing is going to change really

A lot less; probably less than 50,000.

Explain why it's not a good idea, people will play a lot better and those undeserving of a high ranking won't be able to abuse the current system
