I am rated about 580. The competition criteria is between 200 below to 200 above. So I get this player rated about 700. I play them. I like games against better players, but of course there is a limit.

First game they win with 90.5 accuracy. I’ve played that before, so except his rematch.

Second game they win with a 99.6 percent accuracy. I didn't have time to check the report, and they àsk for another rematch.

Third game, another win at 99.6 percent accuracy. They ask for another rematch, but I’ve had enough.

Their rating has now jumped to 1614 in less then a day. Either they are creating, or they are a lot better then the rating said they are, and created a brand new account. I mean two 99.6 games in a row. Okay, yeah right.

It's very possible a good player stated with a low rating from the initial account. The way the Glicko rating system works, is that players will have larger rating changes after games and as they play more, that value drops. So a strong players, starting with a low rating will see large increases.

However, if you feel your opponent wasn't playing fairly, you should report them.
