Receiving Points

Is anyone else having issues with not getting all your points it says you won?

 

Twice now I have been screwed massive points. Yesterday I was at 1226 and supposedly won 117 but next game it said 1261 (1226 + 117 = 1343, cutting me 82 points), and just now supposedly had won 96 points but it only raised 30 points! It's bad enough watching you who just built it up only to lose it all the very few games, but I certainly should be getting what I have won dagnabit! lol

 

Can this be checked, worked on, my points GIVEN TO ME that didn't register? That sucks!

Not sure it's possible for the system to say you got 117 rating points unless you beat REALLY high rated player(s) compared to you. Maybe you are confusing points with rating? If you get 117 points and first place that does not mean your rating will go up by 117 points (you may already know that?) There is a post in the forums about how ratings are calculated if you are curious.

I think that many (most?) people have the rating concept wrong. I mean generally, not only on 4-player chess. Rating is something that reflects your underlying playing strength, not something you manipulate to your liking.

Of course players are not the main culprits for trying to distort that reflection of their strength. The rating algorithms are also to blame, since they are so unstable.

yeah.. manipulation sucKs!

    Well.. perhaps when teaming comes back I'll try it out, but this here is meant to overcome your 3 opponents, not have them team up on you and you must overcome them.

    When a check has happened it's obvious the other opponents should jump on an opportunity if it's open but that's as far as it should be as for any sense of teaming with this original 4 player.

    Alright, we can agree to disagree but ill try to just not kill my teamate instead of help him kill others. that way people arent ganged up on.
