Is it against the rules to name and shame sandbaggers?

Previous ratings well over 150 above the rating band and even now coming down still massively over.
Originally posted by adramforallThanks for the advice. My opponent just melted down and I got timeout victories in both games.
Getting beat is likely to harm your rating more so just make sure you win.
Originally posted by mcialaYou're right, Al. I'm on a particularly nasty ratings slide at the moment and after a string of losses, it's easy to lose confidence in my game. Have to keep reminding myself of the 'fun and relaxation' part. I guess nobody burns out when they're on a winning streak. 😉
Good for you Steve
He's just timed out on me too.
Like you I think we just have to take a healthy approach to what is, after all, a game and something we should be doing for fun and relaxation.

I am playing against a player in a tournament started in December 2008 (long haul, I am not complaining about the slowness in moves) and now I am trying to time the inevitable draw (as we both have a pawn and a king, while pawns are about to be taken) according to the 'wave' this player is happily demonstrating between a 1700 and 1000 rating.
Which might have something to do with the over 1500 games he has in progress.
Originally posted by BlackampYes, I think many of us are playing him. And he keeps signing up for more tournaments. It's frustrating but he's within the rules.

Originally posted by sbacatfunny that you mention all-you-can-eat. when i think of the player in question, i have a mental image of a man who is so afraid of starving to death that he keeps on eating everything in sight until his stomach explodes.

As I've learned from going to buffets, all you can eat can be a very bad thing. 😛
