I don't get why people have rating limits for challenges. It's just not fair that people with ratings too low or too high can't challenge people. 😠

because it's not worth the time of a 2000 to play a 1100.

I'll play anyone for rating points. I'm not saying you shouldn't do that because I can't make you stop the rating challenges thing. Sometimes, I just have those unfortunate losses to players with a rating much lower than me. 😞

because we're masochists and like to get kicked in the face. it builds character. lower rated players can only sucker punch us, if they're very very lucky. and that's just not enough pain to give us the pleasure we crave.

For those subscribers, they have time to play much lower rated people since they have unlimited games. I'm also speaking for myself here. 😠

I'd like to get down to 10-15 games, so I'd have more energy for training and faster chess. but I suppose the starting of next tournament rounds will kill that dream for some time...
