Sudden Ratings Drop

Sort:

Hey, I just have a quick question. Are live chess games being lumped in with correspondence games now to create my rating? I'm looking at my recent games on my online chess and I just experienced a drop from 1655 to 1195. I only completed one correspondence game in that time period, which I won. Recently, I have been playing a lot of blitz and losing the majority of my games. I always thought I received different ratings for my blitz and correspondence games. Has this changed? Thanks.

The two ratings do not affect one another.

To me this looks like some sort of glitch..

After losing this game your rating increased 16 points. http://www.chess.com/echess/game.html?id=14546123 Slightly abnormal. But after winning the game after (your most recent one) your rating dropped some 500 points. http://www.chess.com/echess/game.html?id=14546118 I'm sure the staff will correct this for you.
