I hate rating manipulation. Literally its like bullying a 7 year old in walmart. You just lower you rating to JUST JOIN A TOURNAMENT full of inncocent players who didnt sandbagg but then you win the tournament for your just being a unstoppable at the tournament and I feel this has to stop... like these types of online players must get a temporary ban or PERMANANTALY. Please leave a upvote for this ... this is just a bad habit now adays.
As I have stated time, and time again, Chess.com manipulates the time, either by speeding up your clock, shaving of your time by the website or, by slowing the clock of the opponent. Only then, is the opponent able to defeat you.
The website uses lagg time as an excuse but, by other chess websites, this happens seldom, not like Chess.com.
I will reiterate: Chess.com is not in the UP and UP and does not play according to official chess rules. The website makes no attempt to correct problems, demonstrating that my accusations are correct.
The website should only be used to practice with and one should not expect a fair game.
Ratings are (in accordance of rules, or lack there of) judged unfairly.
Agreed
