Starting over

Newbie here.

As a non-subscriber, I played 60+ games with my boyfriend in order to learn to play chess.

Now I see that these rated games affect the way others respond to my challenges, etc. I don't give a darn about my rating at this point other than how it inhibits future games/tournaments, etc.

Now that I am a subscriber, is it possible to wipe the slate clean and start over?

Thanks in advance.

No, not possible.

Okay, well that's pretty cut and dried. Thanks for the replies!

Maybe your boyfriend could let you win a couple of games to raise your rating?

Enter a few tournaments, or join a clan. People can't really refuse to play you.

Then your rating will quickly go to whatever your true rating is.

Isn't that against the TOS?

Yep - sort of.

Um, 'quartets' usually means a group size of FOUR. You sure you're looking at the right number?

No, I was wrong. Sorry.
6 new games should it be, if I counted right.
