saf Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 I really think that we should not be able to rate our own skill levelcan it not be rated according to performance? iehand records are there, why can it not be reflected in our rating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Badger Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 Welcome Saf. I always have look at a player's profile before replying on here and being a chess player myself love the quote on your profile: At the end of the game, the king and pawn go back in the same box :) As for players rating their own skill level, well there are plenty of delusional people in the world, and sadly a few end up on BBO.

BabsG Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 Well - there was a site bboskill.com that rated players just as saf has suggested. It is still operational but hasn't been updated in about 4 years. It has me rated as " expert - " BUT I am nothing more than an intermediate at best. So - not sure that method is any better than self rating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
croquetfan Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 self ratings are a joke. If you play in an indi game, it's handy to be able to check your partner's skill level as it affects the bids & plays you make.Why can't people be honest? "novice" level 23... "novice" level 9, 5000 logins. They must be really slow learners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
