Some people are more equal than others?
WHY?

I'm sure the staff here bumped her up. For titled players, I don't think it's a big deal either. She is obviously going to get there anyway (according to the FIDE website, her rating is 2383) and this way she doesn't have to kill others ratings on her way up.
I know I'm sometimes weary of playing a 1200 rated player. You can lose like a hundred points if they know their stuff. It's not that some people are more equal than others. Ratings are a measure of skill, and she's obviously already proven she's got that. If somehow she didn't, then she'd fall back down again.
Oh, and if she ever reads this, hi Rusudan! Welcome! hehe


Is not fair for no one

How about taking a cue from Yahoo! Chess and providing "provisional ratings" to new players. There, playing a provisionally rated player has a negligible effect on your rating.


Ok Erik, fair enough .
my first game:
Attack-Defense(1612) BrandX(1200) 0-1
...new Rating for me (1682)
MikeD4134 (1615) RusudanGoletiani (1200 ) 0-1
....new Rating for RusudanGoletiani (2224)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3 more rating points from the opponent makes a big difference, doesn't it?

Hi all, please advise if chess960 rating also adjusted in the beginning for titled players, if so how high it will be?, if not can it be adjusted to GM VovAn1991?
