Mysterious rating change. In a rapid game (G60) I drew with my rating 1485 vs Komodo 11 rated 1604
and my rating went down 2 points?? I have read the chess.com explanation of ratings and have looked at (but not absorbed) the Wiki for the Glicko Rating System. My assumption is that in the case of a draw the player who was expected to win may lose some points. Komodo had me outclassed by +119 points??
My only guess is that unlike Elo Rating, Glicko is not zero sum. Perhaps both players can go down in rating in the case of a draw. Unfortunately, I do not know how Komodo's rating change immediately after our game. I am not sweating 2pts just baffled.

It wasn't rated 1604 in rapid- only in bullet. Its rating shows as 1423 on your game.
