can you just let one account sit dormant and open another one? ive done things im not proud of, pointless, thoughtless moves, blunders galore.. id like to get my past behind me and get a fresh start..
If I were you, I would at least clear it with admins first. (via; send feedback link)

since your rating is around 1150 just now, you are better off just playing on and forgetting the first lot of blunders. there are plenty more to be made and after a couple of hundred games you wont care about the bad start you had. you will get back to the 1200 and above pretty quick if your skills deserve it.

Tell them you would like to open a new account and they will make it so you csan no longer access the old account.

I was just trying to give an example of a 'valid' reason to change accounts and point out that doing it simply for 'a fresh start' is frowned upon by most users.

"I am convinced a chess-player's attitude to his own mistakes can serve as a gauge of his strengths and his prospects. The weak player tries to forget his mistakes as quickly as possible and is soon committing fresh ones which may be even cruder. The strong player treats his mistakes with an attentiveness that borders on love. They become the object of prolonged painstaking analysis; he constantly remembers them, but looks for ways to avoid meeting them again. Sensing his attitude, they migrate to the games of other players."
