Hi guys
I've one question on how works the elo rating in ranked matches in chess.com. Why the first games had a very high variability of elo points (like +100, -80, etc) and now is just a +10-10 gain/loss?
I started to play when i was very noob, and now i'm at 700 elo points and it looks like i will need at least 40 matches to reach the starting 1100 elo points. Why my first losses counted that much? I Think is unfair, unless was specified and i didnt read it. There is any option for restarting my account?
