underrated



  Some players may set their initial rank too low either on purpose, or they
  are unsure, or they don't know, or they may be improving at a faster rate
  than the rating system can keep up. What happens is that they accumulate
  lopsided win/loss ratios with many more wins than losses. This is an
  indication that the player is underrated. If you are such a player, please
  consider starting a new account with a more appropriate and higher rank.
  If you are a player with a win/loss ratio of approximately 1/1 then it is
  more likely that you are close to accurately rated. If you care about your
  'rating', and want to play opponents with accurate ratings, and want to
  avoid opponents who are dramatically underrated, try this:

   a) Look at the player's win/loss ratio and address:   stats <playername>
   b) Look at the recent history of results:             results <playername>
   c) Find out if there are other accounts registered to that email address:
                                                         find -<emailaddress>
      Also look at the rating, win/loss ratio, and results of these accounts

  If an account has a k (Kyu) 'rating', has a very high win/loss ratio, has a
  long string of wins in results, and has other, higher rated accounts
  registered to the same email address, then that player may be underrated.
