I'd assume many ratings are off anyway. Myself, life comes first, so I often resign due to the kid or wife needing me, etc. Also, at times I'm playing to work on something, and if the game gets away from that, I'll resign and start a new one. My opponent wins, I get to move on. Win win.
Chess rating system

1361 is higher than 1200. this isn't golf.
My automatic rating was 800. wierd
I have a friend here in Chess.com who has increased his rating from 1373 to 2153 in just 4 months. How is that possible?
my rating started at 800
Once I watched a movie that shows a boy playing a game of chess. he suffers a penalty and is required to move his king a house further. what would be a penalty ends up favoring him in the match.
does anybody knows the name of this movie?

Umm.. Elo rating systems work as higher = better.
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!
1200 = poorer; 1300 = better

yep.
Um
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
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?
