Question about Ratings

Sort:

Is there a way to tell how much a win/loss/draw affected your rating just by looking at your game archive, or your statistics, or something like that? In other words, I don't remember what it was prior to a game, so I can't do the simple addition/subtraction to see how large the change was. Thanks!

Actually, I think the recent game section shows the rating you had when the game was finished.

Yeah, I think that was part of my head-scratchery. I think it does show your rating as it was adjusted from the outcome of that game.

 

So the solution, then, is the same, Anthony. Just have to keep in mind that the rating listed next to your name takes into account how that game changed your rating.

 

I think it used to list the rating as of the start of the game, as you thought. At least, I vaguely remember it being that way.

you just calculate the difference between the rating listed next to the last game and the one before it and it gives the change

Exactly.

 

Thanks, all!
