I’ve just lost to player who was rated at 1621, I was at 1570. This was a daily game. I lost 15 points and my opponent gained 13. I always assumed you’d lose maybe 5 or 6 points with a difference of around 50 points.
Am I missing something?
I’ve also noticed bigger point losses in some recent games.
Can anyone shed some light on this anomaly please?

The site uses the Glicko rating system that includes a measure of rating uncertainty called the rating deviation (RD) value. Rating changes are a combination of the difference in ratings and each player's RD value. Higher RD values will result in larger rating changes after games.
