Yes, why do street crossings use a green man? What if you're colour blind?

Well me, my rating is only 1700, but, I signed up for just about 1 week ago (I can't remember the exact date).

If you can, challenge players with rating 1500 plus, (I'm lucky because they're the ones who challenged me) then I think you'll have their rating points + 200 = 1700. Then, challenge players above 2000, you'll have 2200. That's it. Hope you're not angry.😴
I looked at your completed games. I hope you don't become too discouraged when you actually play someone that knows something about the game. 😉

Hopefully you can then see the difference between the light with the man with the line through him and the one without... or you could judge by location. Then again, perhaps you Brits changed things up just to mess with the color blind. You ought to be ashamed of yourselves!

Maybe thats why we suck at chess so much. I bet we'd have loads more 2000+ players if we changed that!! 😛

Sounds easy, but not all of your opponents are going to be mentally ill.

I don't know why bobla45 resigned, but there wasn't a win in either of your two 1500 games. which means you've won 1300's at best so far. the other was a perpetual at worst, and the other he resigned in the opening with no visible reason (I hope you weren't being naughty). and by the quick glance I took at them, I'd guess that you'll end up in the 1500's he otherwise quite many of them will just delete your game and add you to the ignore list.
I agree, I nearly always delete challenges as usually I am quite happy with my game load and in any case I prefer to play in leagues/tournaments rather than friendlies, so I nearly always delete, but if they have messaged me I will write back and explain, if they haven't my attitude is why should I bother if they can't be bothered to introduce themselves (memo to self, I must start using full stops, otherwise xanthos will be on to me)

Naughty? He/she was another player from another country! He resigned because it doesn't matter for him if he lose or win, I think he just wanted to play games, to beat madman.

What do you mean? They both look like material advantages to me. That could be converted into a win.
