When new accounts are created a skill level is chosen. Each skill level has an associated starting rating.

Time taken per move.

I need to understand how points are given. In some matches you get +8 others +11 and so on why is that?

it depends who you are playing if the person you are playing has a higher rating than you then the points you will win by will increase and the points you lose by will decrease, and the opposite for a player with lower rating than yourself

I never pay attention to pawns, unless they're critical to the game. Hence my fantastic rating! lol

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

That's very good well expressed. 😊
basically:
everyone starts out with a rating and a variable that determines how accurate your rating is. if you haven't played any games, then that variable is HUGE and allows your rating to swing more aggressively. but if you have played 1,000 games all very recently, then you have a low variable, so your rating will move more slowly. also, your opponent's variable matters. if they have a very loose variable, your rating will move less than if they have a tight variable.

Chess rating system takes to long to get higher or lower ratings

@ai-chen, just play some rated games, have fun, and your rating will reflect your progress.
It usually takes about 20 games to get an established rating in any reliable rating system.
i just want ratings to go up and down fast like they did in the past
so if you play well all day you get a super high rating
same if you mess up you go down low

Your rating changes rapidly if you have a high sigma.

@ai-chen, you've been playing a bunch of UNRATED games. Your rating won't change as long as you only play unrated.
I GOT 800 WHEN I STARTED WHAT IS UP WITH THAT.
