Chess rating system
I started this thread and I hereby am ending its misery. They shoot horses, don't they? Thanks for the few good thoughts.

Congratulations for starting the thread. Thanks for telling us. Otherwise we would never have known where the OP got to.
I realize that this isn't the correct place to post this question, but I'm a newcomer to the site and I can't seem to figure out how to start a new topic - I've looked all over and I can't find any guidance. Could someone please direct me to instructions for starting a new topic on the forums? Thanks!
On this page, to the right, look for the orange button, "new topic"
Thanks! It seems painfully obvious now that you point it out. Every forum seems to have a slightly different system...
Why then did I go down from 1200 (to 1361) when I beat someone who has a rating above 1200 (1089)?? Admittedly don't have time to read the article... but hoping someone knows how this works anyway!
Hello everyone! I present you my new app Chess Elo Calculator. The App calculates resulting Elo with pinpoint accuracy. It is available on IOS and Android. I've added the recent tournament results of Magnus Carlsen with the calculation of our App. I hope you like it! https://www.imageupload.co.uk/image/D82G https://www.imageupload.co.uk/image/D82S https://www.imageupload.co.uk/image/D82U https://www.imageupload.co.uk/image/D82a https://www.imageupload.co.uk/image/D82N
Forgive me if this has been addressed before, but if I start a game against someone with a rating of 1500 in a game over a period of 2 weeks and in that time his rating increases to 1600, when my game with him ends does the system calculate using his ranking of 1500 or 1600?

That's actually an excellent question.
My understanding is that chess.com uses the rating at the end of the game. Other sites use the highest ratings during the game.
Hello everybody! Tell me please! How can I download my games to the archives of the game and share with friends?
can anyone explain how the Tactics points are awarded and/or deducted since I can get, say, 4 correct quite quickly but if I fail on one it seems to deduct several times more points than it Awards when I get them correct, so I end up with four correct but less points than I started with?
