Hey. If some of you want to gain rating points in daily-chess (or also in other time-controls), I have a little trick for you:
First you have to go on Play and then click on Custom game
And next on Open Challenges
Here you can search specific for players with a rating of 2000. Basically in all time-controls!
Why? That has to do with the policy on chess.com. When you open a new account, you get asked, how good you are at chess. If you click on "I dont even know the moves" you will start with a rating of 400 in all Variants or Time-Controls. This goes up to Beginner (800), Advanced (1200) and so on, until "Expert". If people click on expert, they get a rating of 2000.
Of course, many impositors click on expert, just because they know the Scholars Mate and the Castling Rules
And when they play their first game, they play it with a rating of 2000!
Like this one:
I clicked on his name and came to his profile:
He joined in February and managed to play down his rating in Rapid from 2000 to 800. And now he wants to try his luck in daily.
So whoever accepts his challenge, will play an opponent with the skills of a 800 but a rating of 2000
In faster time controls, its not always possible to first check the profile, because the challenges get accepted much more quickly and many times you just see: "joined 3 minutes ago".
So you cant be sure, if that is a new account of a grandmaster or of any person, who called himself an expert. But what is more likely?
So just go to the open challenges and accept any challenge of any player with a 2000 rating. The chance, that you play some monkey who just calls himself an expert will be quite high
