Weird Rating Discrepancies

Sort:
Kazutadashi

Hello all,

I am currently working on collecting data from titled players, and have noticed some strange difference in various ratings. For example the player https://www.chess.com/member/denguvi is currently rated 1304 in bullet, however her "highest" rating was 1200 according to the website.

In the API under https://api.chess.com/pub/player/denguvi/stats it shows that the "last" bullet rating she had was 1304, but the "best" was still 1200. This has been the same case for quite a few players I've seen.

Does anyone know the reason for this rating discrepancy? Is this for certain dates, or was it after the Chess.com update to add 150 bullet rating to everyone's account?

Thanks for the info!

If you add 150 to 1154 you get 1304 so I think you have answered your own question.

It's a bug.

It looks like I didn't see that her rating was actually 1154 and not 1200 (it shows 1200, but if you hover over the actual graph it shows 1154 for some reason?), looks like there's some issues all over unfortunately. I wanted to just correct it by adding 150 to the bullet ratings for everyone, but it doesn't seem that this applies to everyone if they have been actively playing bullet which is a shame sad.png. Thanks for the reply! That seems to explain it.

Any kind of rating boost, such as refunds for FPV closures, are also likely not reflected in the endpoints.
