The more games you played, the lower your rating decrease / increase.

Agung, this is serious, share your thoughts with all of us.
hi
I think it would be better to start at 900.
Starting at 1200 means that everyone is overrated. I know for certain from playing chessmaster on the PC at my chess.com rating means I get pasted. My real rating according to that program is under 1200.
Just my 2 euros :)

Oh yes it does! How well you play includes how well you manage your time. Time is as much part of Chess as it is in other games. In football you could score the greatest goal in history, but if the referee blows time before it goes in it doesn't count. Similarly in Chess if you don't get your moves in within the time, you lose, and correctly so.
Maybe not much effect on your rating in some cases. I played some1 almost 150 rate higher than me and when i won, i was upgraded just 1 rate and him less by 1 rate. teh i played another 1200 starter and lost almost 35 rate and he jumped up to 135something as a first bonus??????
I still don't get it????????????

wow ppl
just play
ratings dont even matter
Yep. Though I must say, I can't stand being a very low rating. It's demeaning. I know it's a game, but winning is the point.
the higher the rating ... the better you play!
i am beginning 2 understand this ...
good maniac
if i get challenged, it tells me how many points i risk or gain, how do i know if i challenge someone else?
i never see how many points i can risk losing or gaining ... where do u find that out?
wow
true. blitz for good memory and sight. plodders rely more on their analytical skills, performing poorly in blitzes. so i think....anyway.
ok then... i think the ratin is a great idea... but still dont understand it ...
I like joeyson's earlier response. His answer was don't worry about ratings just play. After all, we all hope we're playing a person at the other end not a person using a computer.
yeah innit
