Congrats

to every user that stops playing a time control or variant forever, as soon as their rating reaches the next hundred mark.

I'll enjoy more games while appreciating the everlasting glory of your 1900, 1903, 2001 ratings all over your shiny profile page.

My goal was to reach 2000 n classic and then improve my blitz play and then I will improve my bullet... is this bad?

Couldn't disagree more. Do what you want. I set myself goals and I'm now achieving them and I'm not touching my ratings until I have reached them in every area.

It's not about shiny ratings, it's about pushing yourself to get to a certain height and then building from there...

What's the use of those goals if you can't build up from there? Much on the contrary, you stop playing because you know that playing more games will only tend towards your average strenght, which is lower than that. You haven't improved at all, you just froze your rating at an intended peak.

You can do whatever you want, it's just kinda ridiculous, and disrespectful to your opponent when you stop rematching right at their lowest rating of the session (and unequal number of whites and blacks).

Do you really need self-praise to that point?

[Edit] I mean, if you have a true goal because you are actually improving (like @Zara90 's classical rating apparently), you don't need to suddenly leave like you've just robbed your opponent. And you wouldn't need to stop playing just for the sake of preserving your points.

@Spartako I don't think that many people have as much time to play chess as you do. By the way "Popular pianist with psychology degree". To be honest I really don't play enough to know if my rating actually reflects my true strength, Still my question remains, is this "bad"?

Well the guy said "congrats" and no one said "thanks" so let me be the first to respond to his kind title. Thanks buddy!

Also omg rick... Perfect 2000's. Now that deserves a "congrats"!

@rickrenegade totally should have thanked me. Double congrats.

I don't mean stopping at a peak is bad. I've described (#4) what bothers me, it's the behavior towards others... and the need for self-praise somewhat.

@Zara90 You seem to play enough and be actually improving, as I said. By the way, hundreds of rapid and classical games means a lot of time. I don't know what my work has to do with that.

@Spartako I think your post is as much to do with people not rematching when they hit a 100 line than actually stopping playing yeah?

I don't do that because I usually am in a tournament and just pause the tournament if get to the goal.

But as I'm pushing for the last 2000 in Ultrabullet, if I somehow reach it, there's no way I would rematch on that last game. Sorry but I haven't worked my a$$ off 7 years to reach my goal just to risk it on one rematch.

99% of time I will always rematch in normal time controls and especially in casual games. It's one of my pet hates people not rematching in 1 min unrated, because that is just for fun.

Anyway - um *thank you* (but I think we had some fun games and it looks like I rematched you when I played you)...

Peace

P.S. As for shiny ratings. My ratings are shiny, really really shiny, but it's more about getting to my goals one by one and then building from there. I will play on after a short breather but I will concentrate on one area of chess at a time.
