I am usually a little angry about games which are aborted at the beginning. So I repeat an old proposal: Not only penalty minus points for the aborter but also a plus point for the other three players.

In daily upgraded system, there are infos like this in message board:
1st: 3 wins
2nd: 1 win
3rd: 1 loss
4th: 3 losses

Is this about points calculation?  what is to do with "X" or presonal RD?
How is points calculate, can someone provide a few simple examples?
Still very confused.  Thanks.

We'll need to make a new topic, this one is now outdated.
The numbe of wins and losses gives you an idea how much rating you will gain or lose. (It depends on the ratings of the other players). The higher the average rating of the players in the game, the more Solo-like it will be, eg for 2500+ it will be 4 wins for 1st, and 1.33 losses for 2nd-4th.

Hello to 4 player chess lovers! 

Global ranking is not see. The leaderboard tab has been removed. Need to get it back to the way it was. Can anyone see the ranking? My score is 2130. But in the 2 player chess ranking tab (etc. bullet, classic) yeah 4 player chess no ranking... I've looked everywhere, it's the same score as mine but I don't have a name. Why?

You can only see who have the same points as you originally.

Question.

I've always thought the changes in the rating after the game only depend on 3 factors:

- your rating vs. the average rating of the board,

- your rank after the game (if you're 1st, you get 3 wins, if you're 2nd 0.5 loss, etc. as displayed in the be beginning),

- Glicko.

And NOTHING ELSE.
Some players believe that the ranks of the OTHER PLAYERS also influence, so for instance if a high rated is 3rd or 4th, that's better for you. But I do not conclude that from the formulas above.

Could some Admin explain once for all please?
