increasing my rating

I have an account on my iPhone and my son has one on my iPad If I play both sides and keep beating him how long will it take to get a decent rating?

GM_Phrostbyte

Depends on how high of a rating your son is at. And by decent if you mean 1300-1500, I think his rating will be down to 300 before you can get there.

 

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS:

 

AGAIN, I DON'T RECOMEND THIS.

 

Only if you are desperate, you can make a lot of random accounts and just start winning there. You can comepletly forget about those accounts later.

So let me get this straight. Do you think it's a good idea or a bad idea?
kykygambler

Yeah it must be a very good idea.

 

You get overranked, then when you need to play any game you will lose horribly, get frustrated, give up and never play again. LOL

GM_Phrostbyte

 I agree with kykygambler.

When you play someone you will lose rating because you aren't actually that good.


But it just hit me that it could be a way to have a chance at playing against titled players.

Ah now we're getting to the nub of it. I could be in with a shot against the big boys I could be the Rocky of chess

Being overrated is terrible! Why would you want that?

GM_Phrostbyte

It would be a great experiance but you would obviously lose ( I would to)!

How about you climb up your way and/or parttake in online chess tournaments to get matched vs 'the big guys'? They would actually underestimate you and you'd have real chance to prove you are "the Rocky of chess" :)

Fast, swift knockout blow to feel better ;)! You usually have up to three days to think about a move!

Sorry but I'm part of the NOW generation haven't got the time or concentration to do it the hard way

The sense of rating here is to match players so that you can play with an appropriate opponent. If you make progress and your rating grows it is an achievement. But if you just get a higher rating record in some way - it can make fun, but it actually doesn't help you to play chess.

You are a part of the NOW generation and you have a son? You really had to have "that" "then" right? :D

I had fun chatting with you, nice troll attempt, I would rate it 8/10 :)

hossyman
Thanks. 8 out of 10. That's better than my chess rating.

Why do you consider playing against a titled player to be such a privilege, frostbite? You probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference between that game and one against somebody with a rating similar to that of my own.
