Doesn't that inflate the numbers? If you are 2500 and you beat a 3000 player you go from GM to Super GM in one game. Who do you think you are? Son of Jor-El?

People stopped at 1500? and those are the tolerable ones, are there worse ones, the ones that stop at 1300? and win players with a rating above 2000, not to mention those who manipulate the rating on purpose. People with frozen ratings since 2017 pretending to be inexperienced to inflate their egos.

I've already reported several sandbagging, the site doesn't care because these people don't participate in any tournaments worth points

and it's hard to prove he did something wrong, maybe he doesn't want to play for points anymore for 6 years after creating the account.

I saw this term on some website.

I find it complicated to accuse them of sandbagging for holding their ratings since 2015, maybe they have improved a lot in these 7 years and want to continue beating the levels that they PRETEND to be above them.

Some can't resist the puzzle and there we see 2500 to 2600 level in puzzles. Quite high level for a supposed 1300?
Puzzle ratings can be quite a bit higher than regular ratings even normally
>Also incredible are the ones that are rated better in bullet than in blitz

There is absolutely nothing strange about that.

>I find it complicated to accuse them of sandbagging for holding their ratings since 2015

Plenty of people have stopped improving.

Once you start writing stuff like that, it's hard to take anything you else you say seriously.
