Hi. I am new to this site, and chess really. I enjoy it but am painfully bad but somehow I managed to beat a player almost 100 points higher ranked than me yesterday. He gave up rather abrupt after blundering (?, is that the term?) away three pieces.
I was quite happy with myself but a bit surprised to see my ranking drop after this triumph. I can´t say I lost any sleep over it but would be interested to know how that happened.
Any ideas? Was I just the lesser of two horrible?
When looking at completed games, the rating displayed is the rating after the game completion. So, you had 759 rapid rating after your win. Then, you had 737 rapid rating after the following game's loss.
