I keep getting this message from Lichess even though I have chosen to stop resigning in rated games:
"You have lost a couple games after a few moves. Please note that you MUST try to win every rated game.
Losing rated games on purpose is called "sandbagging" and is not allowed on Lichess.
"Thank you for your understanding."
I've wanted to send a message to Lichess saying I don't do that crap but, well Lichess doesn't accept (personal?) messages! Last thing I want to do is sandbag on rated. I have limited myself to casual games lately because I've been full of questions regarding this and have been at a loss for words. I have gotten better and better at the basics and have beaten the computer a few times!
Could somebody please explain that I am merely trying my best at this thing called chess and that I ain't no cheater? A few pointers at how to win wouldn't hurt! Haha. Thanks.
