roadblock

Says the guy now 400 points below me instead of 300 💀

erm its 488 points

Now I'm just rounding it up to 500 now...

erm ackshually refer to the rating disparity between us as 488 points.

well i have spent the last couple of hours after my med nap that is playing puzzles at new a new download i found for my tablet instead of my computer-- just over a 100 puzzles completed they give you the correct way after two bad attempts so it has a learning component to it it very dry after about 50 of these things but i will keep going tonight after supper and see if it makes me think any better --- but no chess games for a while thats for sure

I don't blame you for taking a break and puzzles are, it has to be said, much less stressfull! Good luck!

was wonder mind you where the powers at be here pick my recommended games and game of the day selection as both players are 1100 and 1050 respectively how in the world could i take a recommendation to play those high a raking players to me -- oh well back to puzzles and maybe club video

also do they record your tournament play--- as those points do not count for your standing or so i have been told ??????????

I don't think he should have sandbagged but I don't think they can everyone for sandbagging so maybe there's a chance he doesn't get banned

What is sandbagging?

Basicaly let's say your 1600 but you pretend to be 200 elo

I don't see the point of it. Purposely playing badly, thereby driving your rating down in order to ... what??

Yeah, this guy has been at it for a whole year. Sandbaggers once in a while show their true rating, while this person has been stuck in perpetual garbageness.

Where is the evidence though?

That he is or isn't a sandbagger? Because I am pretty convinced he isn't one.

To bully low rated players so you can win easliy

Yeah @dokerbohm isn't bullying crap...

im assuming players who sandbag dont realize they already lost more than they won

I was talking about janko of course dokerbohm is lagitn

The whole purpose of sandbagging is to lose more so you can get into a rating range where they can win easily... its more like 50/50 since after sandbaggers win a bunch of games they resign on move 2 so their rating remains the same.
