Haha, this happens everywhere. Even in real life chess tournaments and also in other sports like wrestling, where participants deliberately lose weight to play in the lower category.

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.
