Hi!
I have some questions about sandbagging.
I was curious, what is lowest rating which you can get and tried to get it (only in bullet) just for fun (my real rating is ````+-1700).
After that almost all games I played was casual games, so no one was harmed (exept arrogance of some 2000+ players which were lost to 800+ in casual games and have reported).
I didn't made it to get any benefit. I play just for fun and only casual games in Bullet. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose. I did't create any fake accounts to manipulate with my rating and I didn't participate any Bullet tournaments after my rating was lowered. I just wanted to play poorly and played poourly (btw I never resigned in purpuse, I played till the end), without any engine help. (Be a weak player isn't cheating, is it?)
I play rating games and participating in tournaments only with my real rating (blitz and rapid).
And no matter of that I was reported.
So my questions are:
1. Cheating means that you have any benefits from it (for example in tournament). But if you play just for fun (without engine and fake accounts) and only casual games is it cheating?
2. Are plays in casual game (with low rating) is prohibited too? Or not?
I saw few topics about sandbagging and there was said, that it is cheating when you use engine or create accounts to manipulate with your rating and do it to get benefits in tournament or rating games. I wasn't do any of it.
Althought there was not send any warnings to my e-mail.
P.s. Sorry for my English, I'm not good in it yet.
