Fair Play

I wouldn't mind expanding the topic to discuss the principles of Fair Play in general (as long as it doesn't lead to arguments and accusations). I've noticed that different people have different interpretations of this concept. For some, it's simply playing fairly, without intentionally breaking the rules. In the sports world, it's often interpreted more broadly, as noble gestures towards opponents, such as this one:

This is what I'd like to discuss.
1. There are indeed players who intentionally don't submit winning reports in ranked seasons; I won't name names (but they readily confirm losing reports). Is there some kind of special trick to this? You encounter such a player in a tournament, not knowing them, and instead of an expected easy win, you get your butt kicked. )))
I'm just curious about your opinion: do you think it's okay to play ranked seasons with such players with the goal of increasing your rating?

2. There's a concept of "boosting your rating by playing against noobs." A newly registered player has a rating of 1500, which is higher than many experienced players. It's easier to beat them, and the rating gain is higher. I used to specifically try to catch such players, considering it normal, since I was still a newbie myself. Now I don't do that anymore, but in principle, I wouldn't judge anyone for doing so, especially since it only works until you raise your rating to a certain level. ))

What do you think?
