Rating Change Query

Hi all,

I’m not that caught up about rating but just curious about something.

Say I play a Daily match against someone with a 1700 Rapid rating but who has never played a Daily and has a default 400 rating.

If I lose that game, will the rating adjustment (ie my lost rating points) be based on losing to a 400 rating or is chess com clever enough to base it on how well that person played that game?

It will be based on the 400 rating with a high rating deviation (RD) value. It will result in a lower rating loss than if you lost to a 400 with an established rating (low RD value)
