 Best win, I assumed, meant against highest ranked player I won against. But perhaps it means where I gained maximum ranking points ?

it is the highest rated player you have beaten...BUT remember, that its the players rating AFTER they lost to you, not BEFORE, that may be what you are missing mate.

 I think the ratings shown in the results are AFTER the game was over. If that is the case, statistics has a bug.

No, its not a bug. We use your opponenet's rating after the game for that stat because the later rating is more accurate.

 Then can you explain:

1. Skand (1725)  tpftroll (1598) 1-0 (won) 5 5 Jun 2009

2. Best Win: 1556 (Gaurav_B)

3. Skand (1672)  Gaurav_B (1579) draw 60 24 May 2009 view

Perhaps it didn't count because it was only five moves? It was rated, so that's not it.

Or perhaps the computer couldn't bear looking at the game =)

Suggo

It looks like he beat another player above that rating earlier as well

 Yes, but that one was unrated so it is correct that it didn't count.

Ahhh, true, I didn't notice that!

If this is the reason (the short length of the game, not the computer's aversion) I can understand why it wouldn't count, however the fact that both players' ratings change seems to indicate that it did.  In any case, surely a game that ended in checkmate should be an exception to any rule regarding whether a game is counted based on its duration.

I'm with the OP -- something seems like its not right.

I am sure that will be happy to look into it and fix it at some point in time.  Can't expect everything to run 100% smoothly all the time, they do a pretty good job of things really!

 I would say they do excellent job of running the site. But the last comment from staff seemed to say that there is no bug...

Are you sure? Because I noticed a change in your rating after every game. Which part of your statistics is not being updated ?

It's ok I was just having a "moment" my stats were not updating because the game I played was unrated. DOH!
