Wrong rating change!!

Sort:
Prestidigitador

Hi guys! Can someone explain to me why is it that my rating decreased from 1441 to 1434 as I won a rated tournament game against a 1240 player?  I'm freaking out. I don't get it.

When I open again the game, it shows my rating as 1237 and his as 1434. It is completely impossible, as I checkmated him.  Frown  . Well, now it seems it changes depending on if I look from my phone or my laptop.

 

This is the game:

Any idea why is welcome. Thanks

Looks like a bug. Your opponents rating went way up and yours went way down. I would open a ticket.

Thanks Martin, I was really freaking out!  I didn't know that small rating increase after winning a game was so important to me ha ha Laughing.  Something to do with Pavlov I guess...

Looks like a momentary glitch. If you take a look at your online rating graph under stats it shows an upward rating increase. No dip in the graph. Nothing to worry about
