How to Dodge Game Properly

Avatar of ClickandMove

At the beginning of the match before making a move, look at you're opponent's profile.

Look at the 3 most recent game of you're opponent.

If your opponent won all of them, do not make a move and abort the game.

That is a mistake. If you abort too often, you lose the ability and then your only choice is to resign.

I think your way of dodging a cheater can often pop up a result of false positive because sometimes, if im on a good day, i get more than 3 win in a row.

Interesting-- looking at your games starting with most recent Draw followed by 4 wins, then another draw and 2 losses followed by 8 wins.........

The main purpose of dodging is to avoid opponents that have momentum. This significantly boost their morale and harder to beat.

Don’t abort a game, play it and learn from your mistakes, use it to better yourself.

I speculated that this method will increase your win rate from 50 to at least 50.8 percent.

Statistics question: how many matches would you need to play to test that hypothesis?

Since you need at least 30 3 consecutive wins and the probability of that thing could happen is 1 out of 8, you need to have at least 240 games. The larger amount of samples, the better. Note: Play only small amount of games per day in order to avoid skewing the data without reviewing any of those games. I recommend playing one game per day.

You can also see evidence in your games, the more recent the better. Add 1 if the most recent game from the 3 consecutive win if it is a win and subtract 1 if not. Find the result from as many data as you can.

From what I found, you indeed find approximately more wins after a 3 consecutive win than losses, out of the 3 consecutive wins, approximately 9/16 are wins and 7/16 are losses. The result would be 1/8 more wins.

If you dodge opponent that have winning momentum, you will have 1/8 of all your games have win rate of 9/16 and the other 7/8 is 1/2: (1/8)*(9/16)+(7/8)*(1/2) = 0.5078125 which is 50.8 percent

By deliberately aborting games against anyone that you think will beat you, aren't you manipulating your rating?

Technically...

Frivolous game abortion: Do not abort games simply because you don't want to play as Black, or for similar reasons. (Note: Chess.com has implemented a limit on the frequency of game abortions. Please abort only when necessary.)

What is the "for similar reasons"? What is the limit on the frequency of game abortions?

yes, because you intentional use automatic abortion system in order no to play. if opponent reports you, it can lead you to not be able to search games for a period
