Does anyone know if the rating points gained from beating a brand new 2000-rated player differ from an established 2000 rated player? I'm in a daily tournament against a player with a well-established Rapid rating of 600 and this is their first daily tournament. The rating point gains to the first few Daily winners are pure gifts!
AFAIK yes, the rating change is also dependent on your opponent's RD. I think you get fewer points for beating the new 2000 and more for beating the established 2000.
