Folks,
Suddenly one day I find myself lpaying 20 games which I had no interest to play...My time runs out and I lose my ratings, which in my view point is unfair..:cry:

I just want to know if there is a way I can decline a challenge woithout affecting my ratings. Please help me out..

Declining a challenge

Declining a challenge requires literally no effort.

Do not respond to it at all and it will disappear in a week or so.

Your rating will remain unaffected.

You timed out in most of your games in m1090199045, but you also won three games. If you have cannot handle many games, only join matches with fewer players and/or fewer games per player.

Read the information at the start of the challenges page--once matches begin, they cannot be stopped!
