Problem with RD & Rating Refund on cheats

Sort:
gb00182

Lets's say your RD (rating deviation) is high and you lose 135 points on a cheater. then you lost more after.. but these are a legit loses, okay.. then chess.com detected cheater and refunded your 135 points..

but first lose was on high RD and it caused a big RD change, even if you got refunded the same amount, you lose a different amount on your next loss since your RD was changed dramatically.

your final rating would have been different if you hadnt got beaten by a cheater first. refunding a fixed amount isnt simply restoring everything.. right?

am i missing something?

After a few extra games it's going to even out. Your new rating changes with the lower RD are going to cause your refunded rating to change less as well.

In your first games you lose big & you gain big..

you could have earned 240 points in your first match but you hit a cheating opponent and you lost 240.. you will be refunded that. okay.

but in your first matches if you are on a winning strike, you can get to 2000+ in about 10 matches.. yeah chess.com adjusted and found your real rating. cool.

but if someone, breaks your winning strike you lose big.. and you will stay below 2k after 10 games probably. after your RD is in final position, you will raise 8 by 8 per matches.. and it will take much more matches to reach your real rating.

10 games vs. 50 games.. ?
