That is five games you resigned in only one move.

I hope you understand that this is cheating right?

No, cheating would be using an engine and winning.

You would think but rules are a bit different here at chess.com

So, we submit to a big hike in our rating based on stupid blunders in the end, then get demolished? I would prefer being paired evenly. This means some wins, some losses, on a daily basis.

How come we can join Swiss based tournaments and this happens, but when we randomly get paired we go on a week's winning streak? Answer, money money money. They want us to stay on the site. If we lost, then we might leave.

Then, they put out a family plan for 4 at $199. Well, how about just offering 1 account at $50? Money. They want more money than they deserve.

Losing on purpose is not "get demolished".

The accounts are probably bots playing based on accuracy. Look you will see 2 games that went the same line. Very suspicious. This is evidence to show they are testing us to see if we are studying our games. Humans would not be playing the same line so soon.

I'd say both White players there played reasonable chess. They went for Scholar's Mate - one of the first mating patterns that beginners tend to learn. It's very common for lower-rated players to chase Scholar's Mate at every opportunity they can get.

On the other hand, Black (you) sacrificed the queen for the f2 pawn, for no apparent reason, in both games ...

Black's play looks more unusual to me, there.

It's not rigged. Almost half of my opponents at 900 elo 10+0 are players who play at 80% accuracy or higher, know openings positional play, plan mid/long term etc, and many have played thousands of games too.

When you analyse the games with stockfish or on sites such as lichess, their centipawn loss is lower than 40/50, sometimes even they play as accurate as 20 centipawn loss.

I can tell because I've been 1700/1800 strong at slow Daily chess for years, and these players here at 900 elo play stronger than many 1800 Daily chess players. Which is insane because at such strength in Daily chess you are already playing FIDE rated players at club strength level, and many are using databases etc.

But here some 900 elo, for some reason, can play even stronger than that.

And they are not cheaters, and they are not house bots. I think the problem is there are too many players in this rating range.
