When I won a game on Dec 4 my rating increases by 0 to 963
Since then i lost to a rating of 908 and my rating dropped to 954
Sine then I Ha won over 1035 rating and a 1050 rating but my rating remains at 954
Can anyone explain this?
Yeah, I can explain it, and I did, 5 months ago...
you may have answered something 5 months ago but it certainly has no bearing on this i lost 9 oints when losing to a lesser rated oponent;OK?i then won 2 matches against highraters but my rate emained the same.
What my former opponents do in their other games should have no bearing on whhow they performed against me
Were they rated or unrated games?

They were unrated games. That means that they are just for fun, they will not change either players rating.

if you're talking about these games

it says unrated on both which is why your rating did not change. Chess.com has rated games and unrated games. If you click details you will see these two games were unrated. When you play unrated games your rating does not get effected by a win or a loss like it would in a rated game.

I did answer it, only rated games count towards your rating...
They were rated games
The two links I provided say unrated unless this is a mistake.

If you click on the games they say they were unrated, I don't know what else to say.

in a recent game my oponent rated 943 resigned when well behind in points but my rating 873 remained unchanged. I checked the finished game with "view" and coouldn't find any reason. WHY?
