Hi ! 

Just wondering... I just won a player rated 1495 (yay!), but when I go to my live chess profile, it says that my best win was 1465... the rating of the player -after- I I won... Shouldn't it be 1495... his rating when I played him, and not after I won the game and he had lost 30 points ?

again, just wondering

thanks =o)

You didn't 'won' a player, you beat him.

hehehe

every your post is something like this.

I like that ;)

yeah. it shouldnt. couse he is now worth 30 points less couse loosing from you ;)

you should try to type in french rainbowrising.  dude is a frenchie, cut him some slack

The rating recorded is the rating after the win. I think the argument is that the rating after the win is the best estimate of the opponent's rating so that is the one that is used. It's not a bug.

 why are you posting here, go post elsewhere, if your not here to answer his question then dont be here at all,

I agree, i think best win should be 1495 not 1465, this happens to me, it is so annyoing.

It happens to everyone. It's not an error, duh.

That's right, the best estimate of a player's true rating is the one after the most games possible have been taken into account. Therefore the true rating of your opponent is closer to 1465, not 1495  I wish that wasn't the case though...

Well I guessed that as he lives in Canada English would be his first, but I guess that was wrong of me. Sorry rousseausp.

He is french...

Quebec is predominately Francophone.

Aaah ha !  Well thanks for the info guys, pardon my ignorance.

... and yes, I am french =o).  ... but I think I would rather ''win'' a player than ''beat'' him lol.  I presume I should have written: ''I have won against a player...''

Anywho, have a great day all

hahahahahaha! i was literally beaten once....

i played with a guy from the streets and check mated him with a pawn, he hit me .... and forced me to return the bet... hahahahahahaha of course i returned the bet..... the guy was big i couldn't beat him so i agreed to his deal of returning the money and he'll stop "beating" me... hahahahahahahahaha
