The rating on Chess.com in my opinion is 50% of the time overated, 40% of the time underated, and 10% of the time right
Rating is over-rated?
Maybe keep the rating to itself for on board in person games, and just have points for online bouts? If you feel it wrong, what is your fix?
I noticed a big drop in ratings for many players at the 1900+ level. This happened about 8 - 10 months ago in 2018. Can someone explain? They went down to 1750 level.
Really ok thats weird
in playing chess.com im rating 3000 it good but it very lagg

You don’t have to play fish who are so lowly rated they have draw odds against you. Unless you’re Magnus.

If your opponent is rated higher you gain 1 to 5 rating points when you draw.

I have a question without searching whole thread , it annoys me when a titled player rated 2200 starts at 1200 in dailys or daily 960 , you work hard to improve your rating , slowly by winning games , then you get these new players to daily destroy all your hard work its like 10 steps forward one massive step back.
I have just been paired with a 800 rated player but he is actually 1769 , so I stand to lose a ton of points when I will likely lose , this seems very unfair to me and ruins ratings , yes its just a rating but I am trying to improve it and reach a goal , this is so damn annoying , is this being addressed ? or we just have to suffer it , and can you just time out to avoid the loss ? game has not been started , I want to be fair to this guy and give him a game but seems unfair to me to be paired with a player 750 points lower than me when he is really rated 220 points higher
I thought that ratings started at 1000 not 1200.

Pretty sure when your rating is updated at the end of the game, they use the current ratings (not the ratings the game began with).
So if the game lasts a while (and if the 800 new guy is playing lots of games) then by the end of the game he might be rated close to 1700 (new players rating change very quickly)

There are 4 or 5 ratings you can start at depending on what you report your level to be during account creation... not that it matters too much because new players gain can gain (or lose) 100s of points during their first few games. One game can be worth over 100 points, so they'll quickly get close to their "correct" rating after ~10 games.
And I think titled players start automatically at 2000 or 2200 (maybe it depends on the title heh).
