Why don't chess.com give us some answers?
how are points allocated
Sort:
@notmtwain but this is the most popular
@FedorFighter I've received before [1-2 months??] some points back for cheating [and thats good of course], but if you connect this change at +4 ps with some fair play policy, it doesn't make much sense... you mean discouraging playing for points?? But that is rated games!
On the other hand if its a chess.com choice and not a bug [as @notmtwain is saying as possibility here] , it seems a little unfair, as the existing ratings have been built on a previous doubled point rating system, and now the point diff is actually doubled, without earning it. Anyway, lets wait for some more "official" reply

The “new” rating system has pros and cons. Can’t move up or down as quickly. I’m coming off an extended losing streak, and it will take me twice as long to achieve my previous rating. But, a much higher rated player doesn’t have as much of a disincentive to play knowing they will lose a lot but not gain as much as the previous system. That’s happened to me where a higher rated player never engages the game.

@introuble2 I only meant that some changes were implemented, so somebody might have started working. I hate this new point system and find it unfair as well, so hope it is only a bug.
ok... my mind ran too forward

@Morphysrevenges Even if it is the glicko, it was not implemented earlier, so the whole problem is practically new. It is not a coincidence that everybody came out with this right now, is it?
I swear, if they don’t bring back the original rating system I will never use this app again. It’s totally bs! Changing it with no communication at all. I will hang up my hat and find a different platform all together.
It's a bug.
Was reported on the Beta club and CEO Erik said it would be fixed within 24 hours.
I am beating 2000+ opponents and getting 4 points for it.Why this things are happening when I am in good form.

Because it is a bug. (See above.)

Six new threads now on this just this morning.
