It's okay. Rating is just a number. It doesn't mean anything. Just play and have fun. You'll get em' next time.
PLEASE get rid of aborting games when arena ends

still, it would have felt nice to beat a 2000 and anyway what does aborting all games actually achieve?
Aborting all games ends the arena and allows the phase of displaying the results thats to happen next display immediately. It's coded that way
It doesn't achieve anything from an individual players perspective, but it helps with the conclusion of the time-limit that was set for the arena
on lichess the game continues, it just doesnt count towards the tournament
one of the million reasons why lichess > chess.com
yeah it's definitely annoying. Gives people with bad sportsmanship like me a chance to escape

But you maybe wouldn't have really beat a 2000 though. I'm rated at about 1,000 for daily, rapid and 5 minute blitz. If I lose to a 700, it would probably be because I played like a 600, not a 1000. Everyone has bad games. But, maybe you played like a 2000, without a review we don't know.

Lol fr I have let the tournament clock run out instead of getting mated
9 yep lol
Recently I played arena and was no so easy to get the first position.So,no more games for me and arena continued and others play and play and adding points and I finished 3
To give you a bit of context:
I was playing against a 2000 rated rapid player and I had a completely winning position from the opening (after he blundered a piece in the opening) but he played Kxe3 and... the game ended. I though he had resigned so I did a little celebration (because 2000 would have been my best win ever by a massive 200 points!) the I realised that the arena had ended an that the game was erased from history...
Here is the game:
I don't understand why you can't just let the games run after the tournament ended and just not let the games count towards the tournament (This is one of the features that I love about lichess)
This game (had it been counted) would have got me to 1700 AND it would have been my rapid best win ever on chess.com.
