ELO Gatekeepers

The further the crazier! Now almost 30-50% of all losses are losses to ELO gatekeepers. Martin will be here soon with his propaganda about paranoia starting above 2% and how they catch 50k gatekeepers per month. Such a large number only indicates that favorable soil for ELO gatekeepers has been created here. And those caught are only a small fraction of all gatekeepers btw. It's ridiculous and pathetic.  People massively but selectively use Elo gatekeeper tools during a 30min/1h game, they don't even have to make the best or second best moves to feast around elo 1000 like this.

Do the procedure

What the heck does "gatekeeper" mean in this context?

We had the Watergate scandal, now it’s the 1000 elo gatekeepinggate scandal

Another poor soul who would be a Grandmaster if not for the Gatekeepers!

So what are elo gatekeepers? People who refuse losing to you?

"the procedure" is how this site covers up the gatekeepers, using its youtubers and immature commenters to mock the almost only person who is fighting against all this nonsense. Maybe awkward at times, but fighting. The question - where are you, everyone else? It is easier, however, to continue to be blind yourself, or to become a gatekeeper and blame "the procedure". Shame...

I have an awful lot of gates and you can't have any of them

Forgive my ignorance - what is ELO gatekeeping?

You're absolutely correct, Janko! I would be at least 2000 in all time controls if not for the ELO gatekeepers 🙀

Just look at my games everyone. Are they not Master level??

Добрый день! Подскажите, пожалуйста, как посмотреть предыдущие партии с противником? Нажимаю на противника, вижу только последнюю партию, хочу пересмотреть все партии сыгранные с этим противником

This post has the "Where can I find the button to make my opponent resign?" energy

1. What is elo gatekeeping? Cheaters? Because if 50% of players were cheaters I don't think chess.com would be around in its current state
2. I would have beaten Magnus Carlsen if he just allowed me to win against him! How dare he play chess instead of resigning on move 1!

Bro, being a 2000 elo Rapid, how do you know what's going on in a 1000 elo Rapid nowadays?

For example, you have 10% fewer Intense and 10% more Giveaway games than I do. Why? Is there more competition on 1000 elo than 2000?! Logically, it should be the other way around. I wonder what causes such a high % of serious games - the amazingly high-quality 1000 elo rating? Hardly.

Your accuracy when you win is 82.0, my - 78.4. Also 73.5 vs 70.0 when we loose. Not so big difference between 2000 and 1000. My puzzle rating is just few hundreds lower than yours and now I solve 2500 level custom puzzles quite easy. You can see in few screenshots comparison between us (pins, mates, move quality - I'm on the right side). So, tell me, bro, why is it relatively much more difficult to win in a 1000 elo environment with such a skillset than in a 2000 elo landscape? Maybe because the 1000 elo environment is massively infested by gatekeepers?

For 30-40% of people, both in life and in chess, status and "ranking" are more important than love for what you do. You can think how huge the risk group is here, who have no prejudices to become elo gatekeepers. Especially if the environment allows it.

I'm also ~1000 and these are mine for this month so far

if by "elo gatekeepiing tools" you refer to some kind of outside assistance, just play 10 min or 3 min games to avoid that lol. 15min+ games are riddled with cheaters/gatekeepers. always play faster time controls to avoid these "gatekeepers". If the engine says they made a mistake at some point, they probably aren't a "gatekeeper"

also if you really want to be 100% sure to avoid those guys then just play bullet

I am glad that you are so clairvoyant, that you know what I want and what my soul is like. It would be great if you could see the elo gatekeepers just as well, but you don't. Also because you only play daily games. There are maybe few "special" people to choose to be elo gatekeepers in daily games where all people are allowed to use openings, books etc.

Impressive! Question, what do you do with an average accuracy of 78 in a 1000 elo? Here's where a fellow with 2000 elo has the same accuracy...
