You apparently can't read the big read box when you start a new forum thread. Please report users through the reporting system, not the forums. Thanks.

Pietjes, 'sandbagging' is when someone plays intentionally below their rating to deflate it so that when they beat a high rated opponent, that player loses more rating points.
It's very easy to lose a game to a significantly lower rated player just because of 1 mistake, especially in 0+1 bullet games. I don't see how you can say someone is sandbagging when he didn't even win against the 2300 player you mentioned and lost on time. Even if he did win, it is still not evidence to someone sandbagging anyone.
