The mystery of the complex calculation of the Chess Rating "System"

Avatar of DoctorSpotter

How do I know how many points are at stake in a game BEFORE it ends? Especially, when contemplating to offer/accept a draw or even considering to resign IN THE MIDST OF PLAYING. I have searched for a "Chess Rating Calculator App" or a "Simple Chart", but none exist online that are meaningful, direct and accurate. If this requires a complex formula of some sort, I suggest Chess.com to incorporate a separate field to inform players of how many points are at stake for WIN/LOSE/DRAW. I would gladly upgrade my membership for this feature. Does anybody knows?

God! Is that how it looks on V3. We need a hero to save us from this.

I don't see what's your problem with v3. It took me few days to adapt (lots of text was replaced by icons) but now I like it very much.
