I think it would make some sense. Chess.com wants to make money and if they can do that by making your connection worse as an unregistered player, then they’ll do that. This is just a theory though
So what you're saying is, given that unregistered players are being theoretically being jacked around (note I lost points for not playing against myself in the above mentioned game), that Chess.com ratings are totally worthless?

I can tell your on rage mode, because I definitely didn’t go that far. If you are really that concerned, then you should email chess.com help and support for a definitive answer
Because of the way that network connections handle errors, its possible to have two connections made very close to the same time with very different performance. You need more than two data points to draw conclusions.
Cellomaster, I can tell you feel weird about paying for something that isn't on the level. If anything, you should reach out to Chess.com and ask them about this, given you pay for the service and seem to agree that the site would be correct in jacking around unregistered players. Have fun bragging about your artificially inflated, and totally worthless, ratings.

OP, you are mad because:
1. I am a paying member
2. I can’t solve your problem
3. I don’t have any of your problems.
And no, for me these ratings aren’t inflated since I am 1565 USCF

1. Ban OP ( It is against the rules in creating two acccounts )
2. It is not acceptable to play with two accounts from the same person
3. Lock this thread!! (Super tight with good password, LOL)
I have no issues... Sounds like salt to me
When you say unregistered players do you mean players who are not paying for any premium services?
Maybe it is just me, but does Chess.com have a thing against unregistered players? I've noticed I tend to lose quite a bit on time on an old, unregistered account, in addition to having major "connection problems."
I created a new, unregistered account to test this theory. I logged into the old account, went to play a game and was met with a connection issue. I immediately logged out of that account and into the new one I created, went to play a game and had zero connection issues.
Sounds like total BS, right? I mean why would Chess.com be shady with unregistered accounts?
I'd like to see someone explain this then: I played myself, despite logging out.
