Too many players just play for rating (at least in Blitz room). They always reject challenges from players having same rating and prefer challenging beginners rated 0-40. These players contributes to rating inflation and pollute rooms because you may be rejected 5 times before finding the one who plays for chess, not for rating. With Elo system, player don't earn points when they win against a weaker player with more than 350 difference. FlyOrDie should implement the same rule with 150 points difference. If you agree with this, please tell it for the webmaster can see that. Nico

WHAT IS YOUR RATING IN THIS ROOM? IF YOU HAVE 0 "EVRYBODY" WANT TO PLAY WITH U! :@
BUT IF YOU HAVE 0~ I WANT TO PLAY WITH U!!!!!!!
Hi Ivanos, my rating is between 240 and 300 depending on my luck. But it I wanted to be rated 450 or more, it would be easy, I would just challenge players rated 50-80 and reject all challenges from players rated more than 150, I would be sure to win and win a few points each game. That's the problem.
You can play with me :p and u can chalenge mans that have rating 20 or 50 and if you win the mans that have 20-50 you must have 50 rating. And i think that some mans that have 200 in blitz can to play with u.
Yes, and its pathetic. In chess, you will never become a good player unless you play better players...
It means you have a provisional rating and havent played enough games to have a solid rating.
I only ever play the highest people in the room, rated around 500 at the moment, the only games I have ever lost is because my connection disconnects a lot. I'm a GM in real life, and, like many people have noted here, the only way to improve is to play better people.
I play reversi on this website and i must say that we do get a lot of people playing 4 the rateings if u ask me i say the rateing system should be changed that u can only get points in tournys were u must defeat people of the same skill as u sadly only subscribers can play in tournys thise also should be changed
