Whats the best way to increase your rating?

Does it involve beating ANYONE or does it matter WHO you beat ?

Thats easy keep winning ! the higher the player the more points u get for the win ,thats because u have greater chances of losing too. So its a balance if u play someone about 200 points below you,u might get about 7-10 points for the win if u play someone your rating level u would get about 21-25 points roughly and if u beat someone about 200+ point above u then you would get about 30-40+ points for the win roughly.Also depends on your cliko and theres of course the higher that is the more points u stand to win and lose. So i would test yourself with a variety of players and see how the points compare if they are above u of course even a draw would get u some points higher i hope this helped abit.....Cool

its best to beat someone but the higher you beat the higher your rating will go
