Chess rating system
Sort:
I go to a class Chess4life and they have a rating system online called myrating.com
Your program is flawed. People are using separate chess computers. When someone with a 900 rating plays a game like a master, you know they have help. Won’t bother spending money here.
I am fairly new to this but appreciate the help. When I lose a game, I drop around 10 points. When I win, I gain 5! haha. Doesn't seem fair. Can someone explain it to me please?
Points you lose or get depends on the rating of your opponent. When playing a stronger opponent, you lose less points if you lose and you gain more points if you win. Opposite when playing a weaker opponent.
Hi I was wondering how many classic rated ACF games you had to play before you acquire a classic ACF rating.
I love chess and sometimes I am surprise myself because I feel I'm playing good against strong players
but with my up & downs my rating easely change from 1600 t0 1300 but most of all I play for fun!

"Official rating with certificate" implies that you are talking about titles such as CM, NM, FM, IM, GM and so on.
In order to get an official title (that matters), one must play over the board tournaments in officially sanctioned events. If you live in the US, there are USCF events and some FIDE events. If you live in Mongolia, I believe your only real choice is FIDE. Other countries do have national ratings systems too tho.

turtle, the general points system followed is as follows:
pawn - 1pt.
knight/bishop - 3pts.
rook - 5pts.
queen - 10pts.
of course points are not everything... the position of your piece also matters.. for example you might not mind losing a bishop or rook to save a pawn on the 7th row.. and points dont have any bearing on the game result.. it is just a basic framework to help beginners understand the value of different pieces
A Queen is 9 points 
Even the champions have bad times in their games and lose games. Learn from your mistakes and you will improve eventually.
I have learned success in things is never a smooth path, its got lots of ups and downs along the way.
