i have a friend with a high CM score and really low bullet score.

I'd like to know people's thoughts on Chess Mentor's influence on actual chess ratings.  Does it really help?  My friend is like over 3000 on CM and has a bullet and blitz score of 1200 and 1300 respectively.  

He frequently tells me to GOML (get on my level) and boasts of his high number, but I'm not sure that it has any real relevance to general chess skills as he frequently loses to Computer 2 MEDIUM.  

This friend's profile is here:

I think its funny how as soon as this was posted the player it was about was the very first to respond. You were on top of that one, with blazing speed. The OP must have given some hint he was about to post. That is a pretty high score though, I've often wondered about the effective ness of chess mentor.

MrDamonSmith

Are you reading, understanding, & remembering all of it?

alex is a fckin ret he can't even beat comp 2 most of the time and his bullet is wank, his blitz was only 1400 bcoz he keeps making fake accs to win against easily to make him seem gud

... there were so few lessons that put my rating up.

This is the main difference between strong and weak players, who cares what your rating is? Its only there to pair you with someone on a similar skill level so that you can enjoy a good game. So don't fake it, worry about it, try to inflate it, etc, that's not chess.

Improve your skills and as time goes by you will automatically have a higher rating. But who really cares, its the quality of chess that matters.

P.S. In what I've said, replace the word "rating" with "money" and the word "chess" with "life" Capeche?

alexm2310: my dick is tiny so i compensate for it by cheating to get a decent chess.com rating

Sisu tbh the rating is only so I can trash talk Pd, that's my favourite thing to do on chess.com. Plus it's just a chess mentor rating, doesn't affect my opponents

Haha ok, but my comments were directed to those that care about such ratings. If they looked closer they would see that you've only completed 19/3974 lessons, and so its meaningless.

I'm sorry pdkang, but you're completely wrong.
you have failed to mention the crucial fact that Alexm2310 also loses quite frequently to comp1 and not infact to comp2. That is not to say that he doesn't lose to comp2, he does, because he's a giant blithering idiot. Please do not withold crucial information such as this.

i like how he laid down the brown bags so he don't get dirty.  #classy

MrDamonSmith

Hahahahaha, he's just taking it easy. Laid back, not a care in the world. Yep, the bags were a good move.

Got no underwear, he don't care. Ain't took a bath in 5 years, he don't care. Got a tiny............, he don't care. Mess with his bananas, you gotta problem.

bigger balls than Alex playing Comp-1!

He's only done 30 lessons... that isn't exactly difficult... if he did say 200+ lessons and had 3200 then I would be impressed

You callin him weak? If so, I agree.
