I am in the 11th chess . Com Thematic Tournament- Blackmar Diemer Gambit

(1001-1200) Ratings yet there must be over 30 players with ratings higher than the 1200 cut off----will they be separated into their own division later? I don't understand?

I could understand some one jumping up to the mid 13's but not upper14's and as high as 17's ?

  gg???? Obviously you are rubbing salt into the wound with that snide remark.  gg means nothing more that you are showing off.  I shall report you immediately and then invest in a chess engine and beat you!

And mock you repeatedly with things like OwNeD...and PaWNaGe

A simple word with devastating effects is simply the word "Hi" This word has taken many a man's soul, and those who hear it seldom live to tell the tale! Or was that the word "Ni"?

some people may lose on perpose just to get thier rating down, and get in a tournament once they are registered they can bring thier rating back up and still be in the tournament because when they registered they had a lower rating 

hope it helps

There as a glitch in this tournament.  See here  http://www.chess.com/forum/view/help-support/higher-rated-players-are-included-in-chesscom-tournament

"This was an error in sorting which didn't put the players in the correct ratings brackets.  Almost all the initial groups of the tournaments have these mispairings, but there isn't anything that can be done at about it now.  Sorry :("

*******

In the long run it does not matter, reliably rated players cannot win most ranges of the official tournaments.
