How does that work? If you play someone 300 or so points below you and you win the game you can still lose points. Therefore he would not find anyone willing to donate points in this manner.

Why don' t they take chess tutorials/read books to improve instead. He might not even know what a pin/fork is.

Just my 2 pennies.

I don't think the ratings change if the gap is that big, unless the lower one wins, of course.

i think the higher rated player would only lose points if it was a draw or loss, the rating wont change for a win

the 2000 player would need to win 10 or more for one rating point

In fact there are only 3 players above 2300, so the chances of playing them are extremely slim.
