There are no points in chess, so it's not possible to get this "wrong".
It's a simplification, some person's opinion that he knows is wrong, but could help for some beginners. A rule of thumb. Once you're arguing whether it's actually 9 rather than 10, or perhaps it's 8.5, you're missing the point. Forget about points and look at the actual position.
who is the person with the highest rating in this web?
cant find it!

Well I think it matters if you have ten or zero. If you have zero left at the end of the game you obviously lost, whereas if you had ten, you might have won. Actually, I guess if you have zero pieces left you weren't even playing chess.

Well, if you had zero chess pieces, you would have one chess piece left and it is the king or any other chess piece and you can't have zero chess pieces. :)
My rating just went DOWN two points after winning. Admittedly I beat someone about 200 pts lower than me, but still... wtf!?
derUbermensch, look carefully at your rating history. You were rated 1470, then you lost, drew, and won. The net result was your rating going down 2 points and it is now 1468. You lost more points in the loss than you gained in the win.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the rating next to the name in the game history is your rating as result of that game.
I was 1470. I lost and went down to 1463. I drew and went up to 1470. *My score after the draw was 1470*. The next game to finish was the in, after which my score was 1468. I certainly see that the net result of all this was a 2 point decrease, but I still don't see how it works when lain out sequentially, as I was under the impression scores were calculated on an as finished basis, not in some bulk unit.
The rating next to your name after your draw is 1463.
Hmm... now I look foolish :( I just had looked at the number... my opponent was the 1470 
hi
You start out on 1200 in uchess as well.
draw??
queen is only 9 points isnt it?
If they started people at 0 they would feel too damned depressed.
no not really. this is not always true but try ur chess.com rating minus 300 or 350 for your uscf rating. Now FIDE i would guess minus 400

I thought ELO, was the slightly off beam group from the seventies, with hits such as , Mister Blue Sky, Horace Wimp, Sweet Talking woman etc, etc...
In the contents of chess, can somebody please enlighten me ...
The other problem with online ratings is the gain of points when your opponent either runs out of time or resigns prematurely, I have gained (and I kid you not) close to 200 points by the above actions. Also when you combine this with the ability to spend three days per move, you don't get a realistic rating if you compare it to FIDE or ELO ratings.
ratings are tough because you might play a person rated 1320 on their way to becoming an 1800 before anyone gives them a good game.
Don't let a loss get you down!
learn from any mistakes and grow to be a better player by losing.
