Rating drop with checkmate

Why would my rating go down when I won by checkmate? (It was 960 in case that matters and I think their rating was 900 and mine 1040.)

I have played blitz 960 with my friend sometimes. The rating can't ve accurate at all. I have a different rating every time and I think I also lost 75 rating after winning with check mate last time. But it doesn't appear any places.

Are you talking about your game vs balopez? From what I see your rating increased after the game from 1041 to 1049. If you are playing on the app there is sometimes a glitch whereby immediately after a win it states that your rating has decreased, but if you go to your stats you will see that you have gained points for winning.

Based on your last 2 games.  Your rating went from 1041 to 1049

Thanks for your replies. I am using the app so it must have glitched like Strangemover said. I rarely look at my actual stats. I will be sure to do that next time I question a change in my rating.
