It’s just dumb, if you aren’t just starting at chess you will probably not be at 1600, that’s 90th percentile, the only way is if you hadn’t discovered chess.com before and/or was a professional player and retired.
You're talking of my alt account @Padaq2, true?
Idk you resigns against me😀

Nah it will be fine.... It's for the people that are intermediates that haven't played chess online before

Yup unless your 2000+ (only sometimes )

No, I resigned because I had to go play a GM
What a dumb complaint. Most people would be delighted that they can play a GM.
Well, you are complaining about something, but it's kinda hard to figure out what.

It doesn't really matter. If someone isn't that strong they'll quickly drop based on the way the Glicko rating system works

How is the advanced start option dumb!? What if somebody is just already very good at chess before they join chess.com? Why would a GM have to start their account on 1200 elo?

Yeah. I think elo is used in FIDE and stuff like that.
