Is it possible to get banned for asking your opponent to let you win because you are in a losing position. So if your losing can I just say can you please let me win because I made a bet with someone or something and they might feel bad and let you win. Is this allowed or no because if it’s allowed I might as well try to say it because it doesn’t hurt trying

I mean if your opponent agrees then you wouldn't be banned ig

Its illegal and you will go to jail

"Rating manipulation" is a bannable offence.

TheRevenant66

actually yea you're right

Even if it wasn't a bannable offense, it's a pretty pathetic thing to do. 

NMRhino
Yeah but might as well try if it’s allowed lol

Don't listen to these naysayers. Secure victory by any means necessary

NMRhino
Lol, I am not going to do that though if it runs the risk of me getting banned

Why would you do it anyway? Lie to someone to try to get a win that you don't deserve?

That's not always the smartest move.

What's the point of trying to get un-earned rating points? If you somehow get rated above your true playing strength (by begging, or otherwise), you'll just lose those points again as soon as you play a few games.

Are you planning to spend the rest of your life begging for rating points? If not, your rating will quickly drift back to its equilibrium value.

Wouldn't it be better to simply improve your play?

Bro take it from me. I have a 500 rating. I'm basically a grande master. A win is a win

NMRhino
Well for me I feel like my rating is way under the skill I am at right now. Because I havnt played many games at all and most of the games I have played were when I was rated like 500. Now I spent all of this time studying chess rather then playing so now I just started playing again and for 1 month straight my rating has been consistently going up a lot and still is.

A win isn't always a win...
