I guess it didn't show the last game or I didn't see it properly thanks for the help all.

I believe anyone rated over 2000 uses chess engines or a database of some sorts. So (0)(0) titties, I'm not impressed.

Was your rating provisional at the time?

No, I was mistaken and some buttholes made fun of me about my sweet math skills, reread the entire thread.

Today it seems that everyone uses databases and engines.
