bug - rating dropped after abortion

Sort:
wizardOfOzz

I had a rating of around 1310 when I played a game with someone rated 1280 (alglok). I aborted the game before a move was made but in the next game I start I see my rating is 1200!!! Please fix this and, if possible restore my rating.

The game I started was agains a 1400 player. I lost and my rating drops another 106 points. Is this normal?!

Oh, no that's not a bug, you see. You have three live chess ratings; bullet, blitz and standard. Different ratings change when you play different styles of live chess. Just because your a 1900 or so player at standard live chess doesn't necessarily make you good at bullet.

rrrttt

your rating aalso moves a lot if you havent played many games

Three live chess ratings?! How can I see them? You're not talking about online chess vs. live chess rating, right?
