Hello there !

What happen's if I choose to willingly resign (surrend) 10 or 15 consecutives games ?

Do I risk a ban ? I just want to lose a lots of "elo".

sandbagging is frowned upon. risking a ban? probably not.

Why do you want to do so?

Avatar of glamdring27

You probably do risk a ban, yes, because it's cheating, especially so since you announced the reason for it as such!  You don't really have elo points to lose though, really!

Resigning, as you suggest, simply to lower your rating is a form of cheating. You are intentionally lowering your rating, and by extension you are possible inflating your opponents rating. This is unfair to everyone so certainly should not be done.

And as SorrImAnon says, you should always try to win.

It violates the fair play policy: https://www.chess.com/community

"Do not artificially manipulate ratings, matches, or game outcomes"

If you want to play weaker opponents, set a seek with the rating range you want.

Oh yes, I forget about personnalizing the "matchmaking" system in the option ! Thank you jfiquett !

You should definitely ask here in the forum so that every admin knows about your plan. ;-)

The real problem is you are wasting other people's time who are looking for a game.  Do your the opponent the courtesy of actually playing them.  Sometimes I have a few minutes to get a game in, and if I get abandonments or quick resignations it's very frustrating.  You're not doing someone a favor with a quick resign, you are jerking them around.

I were just tired to always play against stronger player.

I just change my settings and now it' a little bit better.

Cheating usually gets you banned.
