I feel that I deserve a higher rating

The best way to get higher ratings is to not think about the ratings. Just play the game! At least it works for me :)

im saying relative to the 800 it seems like a bigger distance lets say one person was 2 the other 3 when you times them by 2 4 and 6 distance was 1 before now 2 so effectivley im saying that the OP would be more paranoid about ratings if they were inflated

You're bamboozling me again there. Have you ever considered a career in politics?

its not really that bamboozling okay ill explain real slow here goes

Lets say a ramdom person named Death was 800

and life was 1600 

at this moment Life is ahead by 800 points right so now if we double both ratings

Death = 1600 life =3200 the distance is now 1600

Yes, 2a-2b = 2 * (a-b), so the absolute distance (a-b) doubles.

But 2a/2b = a/b, so the relative distance (a/b) is the same.

It's just basic algebra.

When you deserve a better chess rating you have faced the challenge. You deserve the reward.

I thought about it as I bottled some beer, and I think I have a good solution.

There is no upper limit on what you rating can be, no? ie It is reasonable to say that  the highest rating is ∞

The midpoint of the range would then be ∞, since 1/2*∞ = ∞

And there could be no argument as to whether a rating is thrice or merely twice its value in a system which has an arbitrary integer as its starting point, and the OP would have his well deserved rating of  ∞

Wow, nemo in the courtroom!

...what?

I think you are confusing some terminology here.

"Doubling" is a non-linear exponential process ie (Z x Z) = Z^2 eg (5 x 5) = 25.

The exponential operation is different from the linear process ie (Z + Z) = 2z eg (5 + 5) = 10.

Notice that they are named such because of the growth rate of the function. The exponential grows at an ever increasing rate whilst the linear grows at a regular rate.

I would prefer if rating were a system of the inverse exponential function (flip the exp function upside down).

I don't know how my rating is defined ATM but it doesn't appear to be my preferred system.

You are a perfectly stupid idiot. I'm keying in on the perfection of your stupidity. Truly marvelous.

And a message for the Aussie lemon beer guy - seriously? We Canucks call the jag offs who would drink such swill ... actually we don't even think about them.

So I guess you stick to craft brews

How many chess books have you read? How many hours have you spent reviewing your games? How games have you studied? How many thousands of games have you played?

You get what you give.

Hey guys. I'm new here, can smebdy play with me?

i think you are confusing the terms doubling and squaring if Z*Z then that is squaring Z not doubling Z doubling is 2Z

That made me laugh lol.

You do put lots of effort. Many games played

Thanks for the support. My aim is to get Chess.com to recognise the unusual difficulty I have had and award a normalising rating boost to reflect a more fair and appropriate rating.
