More proof this site is rigged

You win all your initial games, they inflate your rating, they pair you up with people who blunder like complete morons. Then, you lose, lose, lose, lose, and you can't win.

This site sucks.

thats only when you first join after like 5 games you only gain 1-8 rating per game

It takes longer than 5 games for the rating deviation to drop enough to get that type of rating change.

You don't win that easily in the 1000s like the game below and then lose miserably to under 300s. They should just start us at some default like 1000 and then give +10 for a win, -5 for losses up to 1500. That way you have to earn your points.

very rigged

And there is no good defense for these terrible pairings.

I've never really found too much to complain about from the gameplay of the site, but interactions on the forums have made me want to quit multiple times.

Hey, look everyone! Another “this chess site is rigged” thread. Another “account is closed.” So unoriginal.

The ppl who start these threads are just angry that they tilt too much. Sad.

The OP went from 1234 to 1292 which is 58 points in the game I posted. Is that really how you want opponents to earn points?

Or they see the fallacious pairings this site uses.

When your account is new, or you haven't played in a long time, your rating deviation is higher and you gain and lose points faster. That only happens for a short time, though, and then your rating settles into slower loss and gain.

That has nothing to do with your opponent. You aren't putting things together. Let me remove your blindspot.

TILT THEORY REFUTED


Yes, YOU initially gain many and lose many points. Yes, YOU then gain and lose less.

Now, what happens when a NEW USER, not you, plays against you after the rating points become ~10 per game?

That NEW USER will then get a rating spike in points, regardless how low your rating is.

If your brain can wrap around that where the opponent gets 50 points, you lose 10, then what happens when it "tilts"?

YOU aren't tilting. You are getting stampeded over by higher rated players. A 2000 player could get 50 while you lose 10. Then another 2000 player could get 50 while you lose another 10.

This is not tilting. This is not you playing worse. This is not you having a bad day. This is fallacious pairings. You are constantly playing against better players. How can you beat 1300+ players who have a history going back 2-3 years with 1,000+ games, but then you play a bunch of 2024 accounts and you LOSE LOSE LOSE LOSE when they are rated only 800-1000?

How in the world can that happen? Use your brain guys. Think it out. Do the math.

How can you beat a player with a 2 year old account getting to 1300+, 1181 games, but then lose to 800s? The pairing system on this site is completely faulty and fallacious.

Either way, your rating will improve if your play improves, won't it? If you're playing good chess, or just having fun, does it really matter what your rating is?

That is because of the reason the deviation is there. They may be 1400, but they signed up as 1000. They aren't sure of exactly how good they are, and so they win. That's why the deviation is there, so that players who don't have an accurate rating can get to their actual rating quicker.

Are you mad at the website? Or perhaps the Glicko system??
