Special downgrade

Sort:
alexmaryin

A tournament was started some time ago for users with rating <1000. There was a user in my group with rating 853 at start. He won all games in 2 rounds. But now his account is closed. I think he made special downgrade of his rating for playing in this tournament. After round 1 I saw his rating in live chess was above 1700 and 1600 in daily chess. Maybe deleting this account was caused due dishonest behavior. But then it would have to recount the results of 2 rounds in the tournament. For example, when the real competitions winners convict of doping, they are deprived of the prizes, their place is taken by the next participant. How is to act in such cases in chess tournaments?

When someone in a tourney closes their account or has their account closed, normally any games completed stand. If the closed account qualified, based on score, to move to the next round, then the system should send through the next player that would qualify instead.

The first few games in ten-minute blitz I'm playing well, but then, when the attention is scattered, I'm starting to lose because of stupid mistakes, but I can not stop. So my rating in blitz much lower. In the daily chess I can play several combinations before make a move.

In any case my ranking difference is not so great ))
