100 is lowest, can't go lower than that 😁

Can someone actually respond properly! my rating is 102 and going down. I am terrified

The OP left by November of 2016, but this guy stuck it out to revive his rating and, supposedly, his self esteem as a chessnik.

Same thing happens when you divide zero with zero.

Your head explodes. That’s why people are so obsessed about ratings.

You would have broken the rating laws of Chess.com.

I don't know and I don't really want to find out.

Afraid of some four year-old jacking you up?

you strive for a rating of 1.

One is the homeliest number.

You will have reached the end of life’s meaningless indifference. But, on the bright side you can only get better from there.

Can someone have a negative rating? Why not?

Negative ratings are fine, since the system only cares about the difference in between players, and then updates a rating up or down, but there are artificial floors like 100 at chess.com that prevent it.

If only non-idiots were playing you wouldn't need floors, but as you can see, a lot of children are interested in losing games on purpose.
