I used to get 10 points when beating a strong opponent now it's 4. I might as well play weaker opponents because you still only receive 4 lousy points for winning.

Someone has some explaining to do....

Congrats on starting the 5th new thread on this just this morning.

Why don't you get together with the other four threads on this?

It's a bug. Staff is working on it.

This isn't right!!! If anyone beats an equal opponent they are entitled to their fair rating points. This sets a double standard. It also may, in the long run, give someone an unfair advantage since they have an artificially lower rating. As a SA for our Team, (Canada), I want to advocate for my players. This isn't right nor is it fair. We allow ratings to go higher for Tactics, Blitz, etc. Please, reverse this and give players the points they've earned.
