Did chess.com do something to the rating???

Hardly see players above 2200 playing live games. Is it because they have separate rooms to play? Or is chess.com rating becoming more stable?

yh da tru u neva c ppl plyin wit a 2200 + ratin anymore

cn't stand this lgic!

y  cnt ya stand it?                                 r 4 u dis 

Why can't you stand it?

I have seen a few people with high live chess ratings, but is seems that not many good players play live chess. I haven't played LC for a couple of years now. My rating there was terrible and I have never been a good speed player.

yes but still if the cest chess.com player is around 2850 there most be some that play live chess but what I have noticed is that all the good players have a lower live chess rating than there online chess rating like some IM's have ratings of 1800 to 2200 when there real rating is 2400 so it might be that playing fast doesn't suit them

I just logged into live chess and there was a game between a 2400 & 2300 in progress.

Or it could be that lower rated players beat them every now and then which keeps their rating lower than it ought to be.

yes that could be it

Some good bullet players are gone forever, God knows where, Love to beat them again, sick of playing people lower rated than me. If there is anyone out there, I challenge you anytime anywhere. No offense intended..

I'll play you you will never beat me I don't play muchI lost against a 2016 bya milli sec so unfair and I was a queen up

I notice the chess.com server does not make instanteneous premoves as other servers do. Every premove you still lose some time, more than on other servers.

when you premove you only lose 0.01 seconds so I don't see why you are complaining otherwise it would be impossible to timout you could just keep premoving.

I am not narrow minded bro, its impossible to raise your rating if there isn't higher rated out there.

Ok, do you accept my challenge? Where are you? Lets find out who is better.

I like this system cos its practical... 1 move = some fraction of a sec

Trying to gain points above 2200 here can be an exercise in frustration as fritz/crafty/rybka/etc. clones start to appear en masse (and when caught simply reappear under a different name).

Could you explain? Say for example your rating is high and its quite an achievement... do you simply mean you have beaten the above mentioned engines.

I mean that above 2200 you encounter engines much more frequently and that's frustrating.  Why is it frustrating?  Well, there's many reasons, but the main one for me is that playing computers is tedious: usually the only practical chance I have of beating them in blitz is to pointlessly shuffle pieces within a defensive fortress until the operator runs out of time (from switching back and forth from their computer window and chess.com) or is forced to play on his "own" and starts blundering horribly. 

live chess or online chess 1 min or 3 min the highest bullet player has a rating of 3000 the highest blitz player has a rating of 2650
