I would like to reset/eliminate my rated games in correspondence chess. I dont like to play them anymore, and its rating is much higher than what i believe my real elo is (which is more likely my blitz and classical rating), due to some lucky moves and timeouts. I find it distracting. Is this request possible?
Thank you!
No, it isn't – and for very good reason. Don't be silly.
and what are those?
If you were allowed to reset your rating the rating-system would be useless. It's there to give a rough evaluation of your strength. If now all strong or weak players would drop their rating the average would change. That deflation or inflation would destroy the accuracy of the rating-system.
Y'know what I want to 'reset'? All the games I have not won! :-)
I don't see reason why not reset rating if there were no recent games. For example I have tried antichess and didnt like it, so I am not gonna play it anymore, but the rating is still visible and distracting
yea thats how i feel about it too
