mis-rated players

Sort:
Avatar of kingdefender111

I am rated around 1250 most of the time.  Sometimes when playing live chess, I am given an opponent who is rated 1200 before the game but after he wins the game, he is rated 1340.  I have a maximum of playing players who are rated only 20 points higher.  Please explain how these players are allowed to play me and why they only show a 1200 rating to start.  Thanks for any reply.

New players on this site will have big swings in rating untill they have played a number of games when it settles down. Its normal.
