Ratings system fault?

I just had My A** handed to me by a low rated player in 15/10

Surprise surprise... he(?) is rated about 2000 in 5/5 or blitz.

Just tracked his online games from last night. He won everything! Drew with COMPUTER: impossible. Lots of games. Mostly 15/10. A couple of draws.

Yet his rating is still only in the low 1300's

Hey, I like being beaten by an excellent player, no problems there, prevents hubris etc.

Surely the ratings system should JUMP somone like that (Smartbrain) to where they belong around 1700 at least!

Yeah, maybe he's playing unrated games.

I'm not worried about him.

I enjoy being beaten by an expert.

 

It's his business what rating he wants to be, He actually resigned our second game so as not to lose me too many points! A nice guy (?)

No. The system should have pointers that boost a players ratings such as if they beat the COMPUTER:hard as he did.

Drawing with Computer: impossible (rated over 2000) is another pointer.

Not losing over ten games in a row.....

I could add more.

It's a problem for the system not for me.

A pleasant surprise to play a master.

A pleasure to be beaten comprehensively twice!

Winning with the Computer 4- IMPOSSIBLE is not impossible,  even drawing with him isn't  impossible, but it is certainly very very hard to beat.

And that is my point _chess_boy.

If you can do that your rating should immediately get a major boost!.

He only got ~20 points for defeating computer HARD.

 

He  may be   two people playing on one identity, How he got to less that 1000....
