I'm (mostly jokingly) suggesting you only want to challenge them because you think it will be an easy win.

Is it around 150?

here, this is the guy.

Conflagration_Planet

He's been gone for years.

Psy_Junior

Oh my!!!! What a stupid account. 0 online chess rating? Weird

Conflagration_Planet

He obviously did it on purpose.

TheLastSupper

As in nearly any online game, the people with the lowest ratings are usually smurfs.

Wilbur2357

How the heck doe he have 0 rating?

TheGreatOogieBoogie

Someone who likes losing on purpose.  That level ironically requires a great deal of how to suck skill where people actively try losing. 

Psy_Junior

You can challenge metromaker224. He has lost every game of his.

He was hardly helping anyone. If I won against a zero rated player I might half expect to still lose rating points for wasting my time in the first place.

Psy_Junior

It is probably a fake account. What happens when he loses in his rating of zero?

But you don't.  The minimum is 1.  So if you played 250 games and win them all, you gain 250 points.

He tended to resign on move four.

It was a joke, and I really don't think the one rating point he gifted anyone made a material difference in any way, shape or form, nor do I think he was actually trying to help anyone.  Labeling it cheating is a little silly IMO.

Mainline_Novelty

fyi, you can actually not gain any rating points from winning a rated game if the rating difference is big enough.

TheGrobe

That used to not be the case here, there was a period when you always won/lost at least one rating point.

That's how timmaylivinalie got to zero and ChessNetwork got to 4000.

lol... yes you can win and not go up... Play Computer impossible in live chess.
