the points system is too low... you'd have to play a million games to ever get a respectable rating

This point system is retarted... I don't get how anyone on here could ever get a halfway respectable rating...I've been beating mostly everyone I play unless they resign right before I might them... how does anyone here ever get a 2000 plus rating 😡😡😡 I wanna play better players, and feel I'm actually dulling my skills by playing lesser players rather than sharpening my skills, is there something I can do, anyway I can play better players???

The point system is fine. If you want higher ratings, get better at chess.

You lose 60% of your rapid games and 74% of blitz games, and yet you've "been beating mostly everyone I play". Is this a joke? If you want to play better players then start playing better yourself.

I went from 1200 to 2000 here in about two months easily. You know how?

First, I'm an experienced tournament player.

Second, I've tried to take advantage of the fact that my rating is still provisional and I get a lot of points winning until it steadies out.

Third, I create game challenges asking for higher rated opponents so I can borrow rating points from them.

That's [Control your language - Mod.].. 90% of the people I'm playing resign before I could get the win

Losing several games to opponents averaging 800 isn't going to be good for your rating.

Yes, computers can't count. We should ask you to keep or score instead.

Look at my last 30 day stats, some old games up there from months ago hurt my score...

Now you should look at my stats, my losses are from years ago and my last lost daily game was a timeout, I forgot to move.

If they resign I get like 3 points... look I'm not saying I'm Magnus carlsen I'm just trying to say the points system is too low... I didn't know this was going to be some sort of personal attack on me

Btw, last time I played against someone who was bragging so much it turned out to be a cheater with a 1100 rating, and he got banned. So I refuse your challenge.

donnny123
Let me rephrase a question because it seems I should've worded this a little better, is there someway to actually challenge higher rated players
donnny123
Good excuse Bobby Fischer

And I did try to challenge you it said unavailable....
donnny123
And I will keep trying until you play me

Create a challenge and tweak the rating dial.
Look at your options!

That is a bug on the mobile app, challenges don't appear. For some reason although I'm online it says unavailable.
