can anyone here point me in the right direction or tell what the deal is with point scoring??? It varies, anything from 4 - 11 for a win??? Even check mating is bizarre. I find he point system on Qi easier to understand 😆

Yes, the points vary depending on the differences in ratings, adjusted for a statistical validation of how valid the rating is.

Thanks very much. It’s up the creek imo and doesn’t always get it right. I’m sure I’ve seen peeps get very good points despite being a higher rating
