WOW
What's the Highest "funky" Rating Ever ?
Sort:
You are deeply correct, my brother.
It would be a bit pointless wouldn't it?
I mean, the reason for playing is to improve, win or lose.
Playing like that would only improve cutting corners, and to all who only want that- Go and get a job!
Say no more....feel free to report that game and see the accounts removed. (One has already been closed for cheating I see)
Aye, well, mmm....!

That's not cheating, merely trying to raise one's rating by means that will not help your chess.

lol at the handles, 747 and 7471 and 747capt.....
Yes it is. Feel free to pull up the game in question and select the 7471 player and read the box at the upper right of that page. Then click the Capt747 in the games played of this same player and see what it says. It's cheating. (Granted--it is also dumb and not a way to improve your chess ability.)

It is against the spirit of the website to look for players who you think will have a higher than average chance of losing on time, and then only playing them......... but it is not cheating.
I mean, you are taking some risk on by starting the game.

most certainly. 747 vs. 7471? Yeah...
Other account closed now as well.
Does anybody know of a case on here of somebody reaching 2000 rating because all their opponents ran out of time? What if there was a genius at researching chess.com members with short attention spans and then only playing them, so that all his/her games would be won on time when the other person stopped logging on. There's got to be some really high rated people who've never played a full game. That would be silly. But it would also be very internet.
What's the highest anyone's ever gotten using this technique? Is that a stat the staff could search for easily?
Or what if you get a bunch of people you know to join the site and lose a game to you on purpose? (because they all owe you for the pizza). I bet that happens all the time. One night I saw four new members playing each other, like they knew each other already, and all lost to this one guy-- in one "loss" someone totally had the dude beat, then resigned out of nowhere.
Which reminds me, anyone ever hit the resign button by mistake? It's real close to "next available game" and to the conditional moves option. So you know it's happened tens of thousands of times.
Also, if you're looking for Australian girl bands, try the Veronicas. I liked their Secret Life better than the new stuff, but you may feel just the opposite.
