So you think a 400 point difference is competitive!??!    And Don't forget the rest of my post which you are conveniently ignoring.  And Which you already admitted yourself in your previous post,  is that such a difference would be an unequal risk and reward of points.  lol. 

"A 200 point difference is a noticeable difference of skill level,  That is the rubicon we feel a difference when crossed and imo the spread should be limited to that.    The goal of a rating system is to aid in matching competitively.   Why undermine that,  why even have a rating system at all if competitive matches are not the goal?"

you think a 400 point difference is competitive!??!

Not exactly.   I gave my personal experience of playing in club tournaments when I am the lowest retied player and how it is an automatic rating boost as an example of how the rating system works.  This is why it needs to be regulated for the community as a whole.     And whether by accident or not it seems it could happen to unsuspecting players.  But I'm also simply against players purposely changing their settings to accomplish that in random rated matches.  It should not be an option.

So you are denying it ever happens?  It should never happen.  If it does the system is flawed and needs correcting.  Especially when it is due to a user changing their settings bud.

All I would have to do is play in a tournament way above my level.   I already explained this multiple times,  and no i'm not going to do that here.   I do that only with my club on lichess and its once a week, and I don't play in it every week,   and the rest of the week my rating goes back down.

Its something that only happens online.   For example in that same Russian club I belong to.  If I was to join them in their club in real life and play in one of their casual tournaments.  They would only match me up with other noobs at my level.   That is a huge difference.   Because just like the OP is complaining here,  so would the high rated members of that club.  They go by actual FIDE equivalent Russian Federation ratings.   But on their online lichess tournaments they don't have many actual titled players playing.   Maybe an FM or  CM sometimes.    But no IM's no GM's,   and mostly random internet people like me so its not taken as seriously.   

And its not taken as seriously for the same reasons internet chess in general is not taken seriously.  And this thread is one of the examples of why...

First thing you did here is you made the mistake of thinking that OTB chess is only long time controls.

He also fails to take into account what if all the 800 player is doing is playing in those tournaments and playing nothing else.     Guaranteeing the inflation.   

This is you conceding my point again.   again time controls have nothing to do with the conversation.   and not all titled players play classical all the time,  nor do they prefer it bud.  In fact the GM's are usually only playing blitz in the club.  They are less likely to play the rapid lol.    Much like super GM's on here are only playing bullet.    Get with the times!

Here is the latest two uploads from the club.   one vides is a 1000 vs 1000.   another is two players 2200 vs 2300.   Now they are matched up accordingly in real life because real players want a competitive match.    If they were to play rated matches with the club online in a similar setting they might get randomly matched with each other.   Big difference and something that will not be taken as seriously.  

Also the main reason why in real life players don't want to play lower rated players besides the rating risk.  Is the fact it will naturally lessen their chess skills.   And lower player would not want the floor wiped with them by the higher rated player.  Because it wouldn't even be practice lol.

If you don't care about the site ensuring competitive matches that people subscribe to.  Or if you don't care about the future popularity of online chess.  Sure,  its nothing...

you can consider it trolling.  But to me chess is just another sport,  another video game community.   And I've been trolling e-sports in general with the same complaints for almost 30 years.  The only thing different about chess.com, is they publicly make exceptions for these things.  Which is historic in itself.

you want to nail me to a cross like another famous troll?  I kid.

This is the cute one. This is rapid so will make you even more sleepy hahah.   And I thougth they played 10+5  but this looks like 10+1?   I remember one time I was telling them how Americans prefer no increment.  They always do 3+2 online.   But little pinkamena one day decided to do 3+0 and people were horrified hahaha.   THey've muted chat ever since.   Big rating difference here but probably they working with what is available.   They definitely not pitting him or her against someone 2000 like I've seen happen online.  Although of course it happens from time to time.   lol I've seen her beat 1900s.  She use to be 1700 rating and then it seems the club reset ratings for alot of players.  Probably from complaints some had inflated ratings.  lol.

What is it exactly you are disputing?

 Not a math problem.
