Trying to raise rating

I have a question for the top players, rating of 1850 or better: Do you play anyone? I have found that many lower ranked players are much better than their rating indicates. They are working their way up. If you play them and lose, you go way down. If you win, you only get a few points. Is it worth it? I believe a player should give everyone a chance, but there is a problem here. Would appreciate hearing how you handle this situstion. Thank you for your time.

hey i try very hard to get my rating up.. right now my rating is like 1300 or so it goes up and down all the time.. i also believe that everyone should be givin a chance, but there are people on here that only play for the rating. they are worried that they might lose a few points. Ratings don't really mean anything to me. just a number. i only play for fun.

Does it really matter to you if you lose? This game is really about the fun. Sometimes it is irritating when you play someone lower rated and lose, but you do not let that get you. Just keep playing whether they are losw ranked or high ranked. Doing this will get you better and better.

Yes i play anyone.
And would rather lose a good game than winning by 8 pieces.
Rating is just a NUMBER

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
