alanback: i know what you mean .. i mostly play tournaments without paying too much attention to my opponents ratings .. and i sometimes curse myself when i lose to a lower rated player .. i like the ratings :)
but i also like the game .. and to play against different opponents .. so everytime i still join new tournaments with new players instead of only the top players (i do join the 2200+ tournaments as well though :))
i guess its even worse when you are 2400+ :)
but! to try a new tournament type on this site must be something special .. isnt it ? .. shouldnt that be worth a small risk in bkr ? ;) (your win/loss ratio shows you win twice as many as you lose .. so thats more than 55% :))
(hide) If you want to play a game with an opponent of a similar level, you can define a required BKR range for a new game invitation. Then nobody with a BKR outside this range will be able to see/accept it. (Katechka) (show all tips)
