Random boost in ranking bug

hello community!

today we will be "boosting" the standard ratings for all active standard players in live chess.

for multiple reasons, many of which we've narrowed down and some of which we can't even explain, the standard ratings in live chess are WAY too low.

on average, people's ratings are hundreds of points lower than their actual "over the board" strength. even our titled players are often unable to break over 2000 given that the pool of players (because everyone starts at 1200) is simply so low.

a scientific evaluation by our staff of our system has suggested to us that the best, most efficient way to fix this is "problem" to simply "inflate" (don't worry, we aren't printing money here ) all ratings by an amount that we deem most reasonable for each rating class:

We are fully aware that some players currently rated lower than 1600 will claim he/she is worth more than a 150 point boost  -- and in some cases, they may be right!

But on average, this is what we came up with. And for those of you who feel you aren't getting enough and that some higher rated players are getting too much, well then you will have fun taking their "over-rated" points away from them as you climb the ladder, won't you !
