That will skyrocket your rating. Unfortunately, this approach often results in a ban. Chess.com's system is flawed though. @im_not_a_cheter was banned, despite his username clearly stating that he was not a cheater, while Stockfish, a known engine user, is still around after years!

He wasn’t a cheater though... he just beat one 2000 and transferred the points to a bunch of accounts, then farmed the one with the highest rating, and BAM 5000 rating. That’s why he isn’t banned for fair play, because he was playing fair, but instead for abuse.

Any manipulation of ratings is a fair play violation.

Chess.com manipulated my rating after I lost a rapid game

Let me guess: You lost around 8 points? @ChessCom has been doing that for years, and I'm not having it. Chess.com can't steal points from me just because I'm trash!

This is correct.

... although there are ways to work within the system. I gained 152 points in two games, for example, after taking a two-year break from playing rated chess. One could protest that this is exploiting the Glicko-2 RD rating feature. On the other hand, one could argue that this is exactly how that feature is INTENDED to work.

Yes, and although many concerned patrons have complained, Chess.com has merely laughed about the problem! Although this also exists on Lichess, so maybe all chess websites are conspiring against us.
