can anyone explain how the point system works for example my last  game I won as the other guy resigned due to me taking his Queen but I only went from 884 to 885 and he only lost two points even though he was in the 900s ,also I noticed anther guy I  played lost or gained around 25 points for a win or loss yet mine is around 8
