Depends on what you understand by elo
Chess.com does not use elo. Chess.com used glicko. And you get more rating points for a win because you haven't played in a while here, but the system doesn't know if you practiced elsewhere so it makes your rating get faster to your current strength.
Chess Elo inflation is the phenomenon where a player's rating increases over time without a corresponding increase in skill.
In chess.com, there are some that has high rating without playing for a year. A win in 2025 was +8 but now could be +57 elo. How could this happen??
