I'M not even sure if one  can get a  negitive rating but it would take less

games if one challenged lower rated players and lost.

I wouldn't want to have a negative rating.

The Glicko system is not set up to rate below zero.  A quick Google could have toldyou that!  :)

hmm...it's like.. when you are alive, your IQ is probably around 100 or something..but when you die..I guess your IQ goes down to 0, it doesn't get negative?

..okay..just forget it :S looool..now that was kinda embarrassing

There's a long established fable at Chess.com, that if anyone ever gets a negative rating then the space/time continuum will be irrecoverably damaged and we will all be sucked into a parallel universe, where Lenny_Bongcloud is the World Champion and AWARDCHESS is King.

erik, the Guardian of the Portal, has vowed that this shall never come to pass.
