I keep seeing provisionally rated players not specifying a minimum rating on games they open, then they name the game something like MUST BE 1500+.
Can't they just use the min/max and other advanced options like the rest of us?
Originally posted by AumondeIf a provisional player played only 2000 players they would have a rating of at least 1600 (exactly 1600 if they lost every game). There was a guy a while back who had a 2200 rating after 20 games (through playing 1800 players and winning), it takes a lot of non-provisional games to fall from there to your actual rating.
What are those reasons that make sense?

Why waste my time posting in the Chess forum? It's full of utter crap these days anyway (including your posts).

EDIT: I've discussed the Dragon in the past with both cmsMaster and TONY who both play it very well (better than I do at times), but at the current time I don't have any new insights to add.
