if you make your account and set that you are a new in chess you start with 800 ranking if you set you are a begginer you start with 1200 ... so taht should be why but also if this are your first games is not too accurate the ranking is just an starting point over the 25 games your ranking is more like it should be
Chess rating system
Sort:
How do I change my level from intermediate to beginner ? And how do you forfeit on here because I just got humbled pretty fast, lol.
Raise the white flag.
lol yeah I found the forfeit button, now if I can just change my status to beginner all will be well with the world
Go to Learn, Puzzles(Tactics), and spend some time there. Go to Learn, Openings and spend some time there. Learn, learn, learn. You won't be a Beginner much longer anyway. Good luck. Try not to move a piece somewhere you know you will have to move it back, as you lose a move that way. Stay ahead. Develop your center. Learn more and play less. Playing is not as fun as winning.
Thanks for the feedback friend, I will do just that, have a good one
Is there any inflation in rating system last 2-3 months? I have increased my rating by 100-150 points with no training and learning so much. I see Nakamura has reached 3200+, other players have 3000+ too.
How do you think?

But you don't play
wow ppl
just play
ratings dont even matter
Two-minute games and the likes can change a person's ratings very quickly. Quite a few games can be played in a day.
Should there be a limit on how many points a person can move up in a day? They would say no, because they work hard for the abilities to play so fast.
The rating system does my nut in😎

Back when I started playing chess and studying not as much my rating was higher on here. Now I got a membership and study. All my rating does is go down I have found when I'm focusing on chess a lot. When I stop focusing on chess I play better and my rating goes back up. Never to the level I was at a few years back. I made it 1394 and it has been a decline ever since. So I continue to ask myself. Why do I pay? Seems my results of study hurt me. It's because I enjoy it. I do play way better at the chess club though than I used to.

When you learn new things your chess rating can drop down. while you testing it all out & stuff trying to get to grips with what you just learnt. Look at my rating bar it's been up & down like a Yo yo. I learn more new stuff & my rating will drop bad. But I always come back stronger

. . . . . the only real test rating on a person's playing ability that is accurate is OVER THE BOARD PLAY
because ther r things we can do to give us an edge. when positions got extra sharp, Beth Harmon (my fav' chess player of all time) would get up from the board during a tournament and splash cold water on her face in the restroom. The Queen's Gambit - Walter Tevis
doesnt have the same effect when sitting at home in front of a computer

Join an open tournament.
There are groups devoted to live chess tournaments such as Untitled Tuesday. That group is open to anyone without a title, and the winners of the tnmts are almost always +2000 strength.
