    Would it be cheating to start a game with a friend and when it is one move from checkmate resign and start heaps of games with high ranked players e.g. cenerentola then checkmate them?

    I'm not sure if it would be cheating, but why would anyone do something like this?

    Cenerentola wouldn't even accept any of the challenges and delete the games.

    I reckon there are two types of players here: those who play to play, and those who play to ramp up their ratings.

    The point the OP tries to raise (if I understand correctly) is if a person plays a lot of games to lose before losing in a given game, to deplete the joy of the winner, is that cheating?

    If the aim was to turn off people they should play against top players, but against weak players and lose by intend to diminish their rating. This is known as "snadbagging" seen as akind of legal cheating.

    I did the opposite:
    -
    If I know that this game is already lost, I wait that my rival increase his own rating in other games, so I play very very slow, waiting the right moment to resign.....(but what if my rival start a losing streak in his own?)

    Any sort of rating manipulation is cheating.
