The rating is a number that says how strong you are. Ideally, you want this to match your playing strength as fast as possible, as this will help to get matching opponents.
There is no way you can prevent this from happening, unless you are heavily violating the TOS, like cheating or deliberately losing. Any way of messing with the rating system is forbidden.
Your rating reflects how strong you are right now. Even if you had won the first 10 games by a miracle, it would have dropped right afterwards to where it is now. You are a complete beginner. The only way to get a higher rating is to becoming a stronger chess player.
@InstinctiveArcher this is the simplest way to understand ratings and remember if u keep playing regularly for many years eventually it wont even matter whet your initial rating was a couple years back coz i hope u would have improved a lot by then
I started at 1100 about 4 years back ( on another account that is now closed ) and now u can see my ratings i have even peaked at 2100 in bullet a couple months back and now i dont even care at what rating i started but it always helps me remember how much i have improved whenever i feel that i am loosing a lot of games or playing really bad
