Prejudice towards, or discrimination against someone on account of their chess rating, especially against low-rated players. The tendency to mock or look down on low-rated players. Can also more rarely be used when someone is discriminated against because of their high rating (for example in rating-limited tournaments). Ratingism is a form of chess snobbery, and it is generally regarded in polite circles as "bad form" for a higher-rated, more experienced player to look down on or engage in derogatory comments or bullying towards beginners and less experienced players.
"I can't believe he just said that to me about being a 1300 and not knowing how the knights move, that was such a ratingist comment!"
"I can't play in that tourney, it's ratingist, it's only for players under 2000"
"That user was so patronising to me just now, I think they are secretly ratingist"
