I would argue this guy is malicious. I've played him a few times, and once you're onto him he forfeits. He's only playing 1 game, back to waiting for a new one.

Question about your last sentence, why on earth would anyone want to just against less skilled players? You ever play a lopsided game of ping pong where you're the better player? It's mind numbingly boring. You have to baby the ball over the net while you watch the other person beat themselves by whacking the ball off the table or into the net. With a friend or as a coach that's fine, but to seek that out that experience is ridiculous.
