Today, something very strange happened to me. I was playing 3|0 Blitz chess, like I usually do, and a recent cold streak brought my rating down to 1109, from 1188 a few days ago.
Then, I was matched up against a player with a rating of 669. Before you do the math, that's a 440 point difference. In the past, chess.com used to cap rating differences at 200 points when making a regular challenge, and lately, they've been pretty good at making sure that the difference stays below 100. Out of the blue, however, I got this match, with the insane rating calculation of Win +1 Draw -7 Lose -15. (Don't worry, I won)
Has this ever happened to you? Have you ever gotten a strangely high rating difference like this? Is chess.com doing anything about it? I'd like to hear what you have to say.
