Other day, one of the person with whom I played chess with called me rating manipulator👀. At first, I thought he is accusing me of using engine, but then his tone didn't seem to. 🤯Now I'm confused, is being rating manipulator called, saying that I'm under-ranked or the other way round?? 🤔

BTW it's been few days being active on chess.com and I'm absolutely loving it!!✨🤩

It's a way of callilng you a cheater. You should report that person for being a bad sport.

Some people deliberately lose a bunch of games in order to drive down their ratings. They would then play games with lower rated players and have an excellent chance of winning.

I see no evidence that you have done that.
