CONGRATULATIONS!! (Your Live Chess Standard Rating just went UP!)

Chess.com decided to increase Live Chess Standard Ratings across the board.  Since anyone who plays Slow Chess has a Live Chess Standard rating, LOTS of DHLC members are probably scratching their heads today. 

As a result, we have also adjusted the parameters for our Slow Chess Team events and we'll make other adjustments as needed.

"Recently we discovered that our ratings in Standard Chess were artificially low as a result of various factors. All of our users have had their Standard Chess ratings boosted as a result of this artificial ratings deflation. Now our ratings more accurately reflect actual playing strength in comparison to FIDE or USCF."    by Calamondin 112 minutes ago"
