I abort games against dodgy looking accounts, long and sudden win records, just joined a hour ago and won all their games etc, yet I am the one who is punished, punished for aborting them, I was forced to play against a +900 for 1 measly point, yet I stood to lose 15 points if I had lost, then I was forced to play a +700 for .....wait for it......ZERO points, WTF is that about ? I couldn't abort that match, only resign and of course stood to lose 16 points. And how is it fair on those players to play someone 5/6/7 hundreds points higher than them ???
Sort your [removed -- MS] stupid dumb policy out chess.com FFS.
The restrictions are based on a percentage of aborts to recently completed games.
You can change your seek settings to prevent getting players bc a lot lower rated than you.
