Surely-who could be bothered to cheat? Am concerned you think this may be so. Cheats never win in the long run from my experience. Good Luck. Enjoy.

I would agree to showing that my rating is depressed. I have been playing games and resigning if I win to keep my score at zero. Bascule has spoken to me about her displeasure with this practice I understand Bascule's concern. However, I could see this being more of a problem if the player with the depressed rating won the game. But I feel that players who intentionally play with a depressed rating and win against higher rated players would generally not disclose that their rating is depressed.  I would like to suggest that there might be an option to play a game unrated.
