I have been playing chess not long enough to be world-class, but long enough to know when I am playing against someone who is WAY better than me and likely is world-class.
I started my account so I could learn and get better, and the vast majority of the games that I play against a person are not against people rated what I am... These are unbelievably high accuracy players with small accounts. I have no idea what the benefit is for them to do this other than keep people ranked low to reduce competition on the leaderboard.
I am unable to find out where I truly rank in my skill-level because I am literally never evenly matched on here. I feel like it turns a gentleman's game into a Call of Duty match filled with hackers; it defeats the purpose of being here.
I know (because I'm smart) that this is going on, and I can't believe nothing is really done about it and it isn't frowned upon. You can find countless youtube videos of these guys doing this; they record it and post it to youtube. I'm not letting some cat out of the bag.
Are there any suggestions as to how to get around people doing this, because it's 2024; no amount of success, money, recognition, accolades, or ego stroking will ever be good enough for these people. Give them $9billion and they're not happy because it isn't $10billion. This is the generation that had no ability to tune out the baby boomers and their nonsensical teachings; they followed right in their "Gimme; it's mine!" footsteps and it's too late for every single one of them.
What is the way around this issue or is this another pointless effort and discussion as it is already dominated by those who will never have or be enough in their own minds?
The Grandmasters who do speed runs have to get approval from Chess.com before they do it and the ratings points they take are always refunded.
You have only played 12 games. It is highly unlikely that you have played someone with a speed run account.
