Chrisull Apr 2021 2:31pm, 19 Apr 2021 17,480 posts	0 Chrisull molething - the question wasn't avoid how to avoid this end game (I should never have played the bishop move, I had an advantage til then), it's when you're in this end game, is it winnable (yes), but from this particular situation with a pawn on the h rank (?)
fetcheveryone Apr 2021 2:39pm, 19 Apr 2021 25,920 posts	0 fetcheveryone Gobi - the difficulty is that new players often have big swings in rating. In the early days, I got given a rating in the 1400's, but now that things have settled down, I'm closer to 1000.

SPR Apr 2021 2:52pm, 19 Apr 2021 33,972 posts	0 SPR Maybe the answer is those that think they're too high do what GM has done, and they will be sorted by rankings? That means if loads want to reset there will be a reset below those that don't and allows an individual to reset later if they want to?
Maclennane Apr 2021 3:15pm, 19 Apr 2021 27,205 posts	0 Maclennane are you playing any non-fetchies, Fetch? I think our ratings are artificially depressed by playing each other a lot. People of similar rank in the outside world keep my rating up while I'm getting kicked in in the league.
