Again on rating inflation

@Zara90 That's a great answer! A long one to my simple(talking to a 5 year old(layman's terms)) answer! :D
@Rembrandt16 Oh wait, so you mean I than too talk like that? You need some Information in Median-Average, Sample and Sample-selection asap. The Internet is quite the sufficient instrument in justifying certain types of behavior.
Itzal you play aagainst what av. opp.? most 2100 here play about 1700, and most if not all 2100 here do not paly me at the full time limit. Besides these games are for nothing , and played at the bus stop or waiting to go some where, your rating is not what anyne really cares about either, Hey B fischer is a mental case in your view and not eligible for play for a title.
If I put up 30 mins 20 sec at +2000 only I would have to wait maybe days if not for ever, I play where I get the action and if its 1400 because they need time thats good for me I learn chess every day and will the av. #1 here will not be playing next year
Also Itzal your rating is inflated, you av. Opp. is only 1900 which is not allowed in the real world, and in elo if you did some how play as you do ever loss would take seveark 100 off your rating. I looked into the highest rated classical player here at 2600 his av opp 2000 and also he cannot beat stock fish on level 8 which is 2500, you cann't have an av. opp. Under your class, our #1 is a total inflation and really below 2500 and un proven because he has not made his score in the full time control. You should know that 40 moves per hr is much different then 8min +5sec. ...
I would gladly play more against higher rated opponents but I like games with longer time controls - like 25 + 10 and it's not easy to find one for such a game. I am also fully aware of the fact, that I fare worse then expected against people with ratings higher then 2100 let's say. This said, it's difficult for me to belive that a person with a FIDE rating of 2100 would have a classical rating of below 1500 after 94 games.
#15 it does not inflate one's rating to play against lower-ranked players. This is because the rate of gain for a win is far smaller, and the rate of loss for a defeat is far greater, than if the opponent was stronger.

If I play against players 500 below me, I may have to win 24/25 just to keep my rating the same.
Itzal do you know the fide ratings are not elo, only based of elo, you should look up what you are talking about, do you know that USF ratings and fide ratings are called elo but very different , also for my self here; you know i hope, that even in a rated game you can get back moves? This alone makes the ratings here nothing to base anything on but that you what to keep score, this is a play ground, also I guarantee here in The USA I am a national master not just 2100 I wrote over 2100 and gaining every day. In fide you are rated lower then you are rated here were it means nothing, because you cann't rate 2100 fide and play below 2100 and get a score it is classed. Here is a way to tell your true rating that is play the stock fish at 2100 and if you win 50% you earened it but don't make claims about what i can do while I watch tv read a book or take a piss, or experiment , i get no enjoyment beating some who doesn't know very much, but can i triple sac and still win? And last but not least chess is about your intelligence, and i question yours, being my 94 games are mostly against stock fish 8 rated 2500 which i play for educational purposes, thanks for being the common troll .... plus i dont know you or any one,in fide etc you play man to man face to face.
