Sand bagging
How do you know your opponent lost on purpose? Maybe he was just inept.
I see it all the time. Tournaments being won by players with an extremely low rating, 600 - 700. Then when you look their game history you will see they lowered their rating pre-tournament by resigning a bunch of games after one or two moves.

OK. I've lost games in fewer than 10 moves, but that's due to incompetence, not sandbagging.

I am not referring to losing a game in a few moves because of incompetence or, but to losing 15 games in a row after just one or two moves. I have noticed (and reported) multiple players last week who had game histories just like that, losing long streaks of games after just a single move, followed by winning tournaments with a perfect score (presumably because low rated players get matched with other low-rated players).
Is sand bagging ethical or not. I have two recent game where my opponent lose on purpose.
I think it is a bait at the end.
These two recent games played are not real wins but sand bagging cases where they lose on purpose.
Does anyone has a solution to this sand bagging problem.
