Guys Why there is not mini option where you can choose plarers min and max raitng with whom you wish to play?? there is some graph options but it does not work.

Its in settings (live game screen/play tab) but its not working properly now for about a month i think. Its just +-200 rating points can be matched to a game and we cannot play higher rated guys anymore :( i guess they restricted that option...

I'm convinced that the rating system has changed in the last week or so.  I have a guest account, and a premium account, and on both accounts I'm getting rating points super easy the last few days.  Somthing is different with the system.  Does anybody know if they have changed the rating system recently?

Can anyone tell me how ratings for different time controls stack up?  Like is it easier to get 1500 with 15/10 or 5/3?

Earlgrey, click on "play", then click on "Live games". Then on that page, do NOT click on "Play live chess". Scroll down to a square on the far right that has the following and click on "view players". That will lead you to graphs for each of the different time controls so you can judge for yourself which is easier and harder.

Hi folks!

Maybe it's said before, but can someone explain to me how this ratingsystem works... Yesterday I had 1442 points. Today I loose against a fellow who has 1210 points (mea culpa!). And now I have 1428! And other times I win some games and I only get 1 point!

I know this point-system actually is not that important, but I would like to know a least a little more about it...

Thanks and good day.

Yes, I see..., thanks, Mersaphe!

This morning I had suddenly a rating jump of 150 points, without playing any match. I don't think it could be because of the ELO system, as I have played mored than 300 games and normally the increase is about 10 max. Do you have some info about this? Thanks!
