Why is it that my ratings, in types of game that I haven’t played at all, are 1200?
For example, Blitz, Bullet and anything except Rapidplay, I’m 1200. Whereas in Rapidplay, I’ve plummeted to something around 500 to 600 (I like to think that’s because of playing when drunk, but hell, maybe I’m just a bad player!)
Surely we should start at zero and earn ratings

When you create an account, you get a default rating. When creating an account you can choose your strength, which will create that default rating.
