> Ingrid is the sandbagger.
The term "sandbagger" refers to a person who keeps his rating artificially low to win against high-rated players (usually to belittle them, along the lines of i.e. "ha ha, you have 2000 rating points and cannot win against a 1000-rated player").
Ingrid has (right now, as i am writing this) a Horde rating of 2637. How much, do you think, she should really have? 3000? 4000? More?
How about, to effectively insult someone, getting your terminology right first? Otherwise you just make an ass of yourself.
The rest of your drivel is in a language i don't understand. Care to write in English?

A sandbagger is someone who uses an account of his own or his friend (a sandbag) to win aganist it every or most of the times easily to get the sandbag's rating points and increase his own. The rest of your drivel is in a language that is pretty rude. Care to write politely?

Not quite:
from www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/sandbagger :
If you pretend not to know how to play pool so your opponent will bet money on a game, you're a sandbagger.
from en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sandbagger :
One who sandbags (misleads about his/her ability level in order to win bets); a hustler.
from www.thefreedictionary.com/sandbagger :
To downplay or misrepresent one's ability in order to deceive someone, especially in gambling.
Care to further dig yourself in?

And a sandbagger in box is called someone who is training his muscles with the help of a sandbag by punching it. You should read the lichess definition of a sandbagger and not the wikipedia that has nothing to do with an online chess site. Im really not the person who cares to teach you this because im really bored of that.

I don't think that you should say the a word, because it's probably not that good. But, I agree with you :)

@williamjwu3:
"ass", from the latin "asinus", is a synonym for "donkey", as you canfind out easily using your favourite dictionary. I fail to see what is so horrible with this word. The ass is (unfoundedly) considered to be proverbially dumb (like the lion stands for valor, dogs for stalwartyness, bees for industriousness, etc.) it makes sense to suggest not to make the proverbial dumb animal out of oneself, no?
I suggest, before critisizing me, to learn to differentiate between "ass" and (what you probably had in mind) "arse".

Yes, education seems to have this effect to you. Because in fact Lichess has to say the following about sandbagging, with a reference to the very Wikipedia you shunned:
from lichess.org/qa/192/what-is-this-player-artificially-increasesdecreases-their-rating :
Sandbagging is the act of "deliberately playing below one's actual ability in order to fool opponents into accepting higher stakes bets, or to lower one's competitive rating in order to play in a future event with a higher handicap and consequently have a better chance to win" (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandbagging).
So, in fact exactly the same definition the three other dictionaries i quoted gave. Since you seem noot to understand English very well i'll try it with Greek: in many respects you seem to be a layman.

Yes, but it is a bit rude to say that
Sigh, children can't behave...
