This person has a current challenge accepting only those rated at 1999 and below.
This pretty much assures he will win and therefore his rating will falsely increase.
In my opinion he is a cheater.

Re: cheating
Maybe, are these people's ratings accurate, like I'm playing a 2300 who's playing like a 1000
Re: cheating
1. Why do you care?
2. Rating is based on probabilities. So you are right: It's more probable for him to win. But the impact of a loss is higher, too. If the rating system is sound that doesn't matter at all.

Re: cheating
What kind of rating system is this on net-chess? itsabout 33%higher then normale or more.
Re: cheating
It does seem that by playing weaker oppositions you can increase your rating slightly.
I read in these forums that although the ratings are inflated, they are stable.
