USA-Elephant

Hi!

When you sign up to chess.com and choose whatever level ... yes it will assign ... ok cool .. .that said:

1. The rating will jump way high or way low upon starting (per say initial provisional) rating correct?

2. If so then when does the rating become stable? Meaning after how many games does it no longer jump high/low therein not flexing more than 10-11 points per game vs. as it does upon signup with a start of per say provisional rating

I would predict that after maybe 50 games, the rating should be stable.
