Avatar of jrolder

Report a bug if it wasn't just a connection loss in a live game. Then play more games, your rating will adjust.

So the reason Kasparov is better than me is because his rating is higher than mine?

No ! He is better then all of us because his chess game is vastly superior.

I'm playing rated games with Deep Fritz 13 and I have Elo rating 1800 for now. But I wonder what type of Elo ranking is it? That algorithm used by FIDE or something else?

I see my second rating too, marked as R with dash above, and that ranking is about 100 point lower. I'm totally lost :-(

Check to make sure your games are rated.  I only looked at your last game, but it was unrated.

28.Rg3 Rxe5 wasn't mate. But White did have a mating attack. one line: 28.Re7+ Kg8 29.Bh7+ Nxh7 30.Qg6+ K moves 31.Qg7#

Instead he decided to win the Q which ended up with a faster win by resignation!

Actually, that 30 Qg6 is #.  And there were two other fairly cute mate in 3's he missed:

27 Bh7+ Nxh7 28 Rxg7+ and...

28 Rg8+ Kxg8 29 Bh7+

(And for that matter, 28 Be6 looks pretty much unanswerable.)

Hard for there not to be a fistful of wins when you have that much lumber aiming at the king. Smile
