Tactics Trainer "math"

I've seen this before, but I'd forgotten about it...  I more or less *have* to "Stop after each problem" in Trainer because when I use the "keep 'em coming" options, Trainer develops numeracy problems.  The fourth column is my rating.

1611 + 43 = 1654   ✔

1654 + 31 = 1685   ✔

1685 + 32 = 1686   ✖

It's as if it KNEW that all I wanted to do was hit the 1700s before dinner. 

hrmmmm

thanks, hopefully we'll have this issue fixed for our next release.

huh.. what a topic..!!!

Don't expect retro-active fixing of rating mistakes. Your tactics trainer rating -- like any ratings -- goes towards its true value the more you play, regardless of what happened in the past.

Well, I guess you could let the past be what it is, and simply apply the sum of all your recorded rating adjustments to 1200 to create a new rating going forward.    But given that the result would probably fall somewhere within the 600-point range my rating dances around in weekly, it would hardly matter.

Erik, that is a good Rorschach impression.    Jay, thanks much; I'll give "Stop only if I fail a problem" another try after the next release, and I'll be sure to check the math every once in a while as I go.  Cheers!
