plejer

This happen to me at least 10-15 times... When i win the game against much stronger(pts) opponent i don't get any points neither he lose any... So, if someone can explain me this phenomenon, i'll be thankful...

If you're not winning any rating points, and your opponent doesn't lose any, it means the game was unrated. Unrated games do not affect ratings.

Ako niste pobede bilo reJting poena, a vaš protivnik ne izgubiti bilo koJi, to znači u igri Je unrated. Unrated igre ne utiču na reJting.

How the game can be unrated, i mean, what decides that the game is unrated? 

kohai

When a player creates a game challenge, they have the choice to select whether the game is rated or unrated.

In live chess, in the challenges tab, if will for example show an unrated game like this; (see next to the time, it shows the letter U, that means its an unrated game)

opponent    rating         Time       Action

kohai           1200          U10|0        Play

 

If there is no letter U by the Time, then its a rated game.

When I play I win and get 0 points but it's a rated game, how come?

@bellatrix-lestranges, take e.g. https://www.chess.com/live/game/5158525640?username=bellatrix-lestranges. You are rated 2000, the opponent is rated 498. A rating difference of about 700 already translates to >99% scoring and a difference of 1502 means that you are just supposed to win, no matter what. Of course, the rating increase you get from a win depends on the opponent's strength and here we have just reached 0.

Same issue. I am playing rated games, one agains friend who is 930 pts against my 370. I won and no points but I lost and I lost points. I won several rated games on time or resignation against similarly rated players and no points. I’m confused what’s going on?

So far, you have won 2 rated games, one of them by abandonment after move 2 (no rating points because of that). The other one was your first rapid game and you got rating points there.

Just happened to me again, 3 games I won this afternoon not being taken into account. Support says that games MUST be played on /play, games on /live do not count. Not sure what the difference is and how to change to /play? Any help please?

It seems I can't play in /play, it always switches back to /live.

You get to choose whether the game is rated or not, but if it Is an odds game it has to be unrated.

Hello, I noticed this issue, playing RATED normal games in random Rapid queue against similarly rated opponents, going both ways. I lost 2 games and didn’t lose rating, then won a third and did get rating, then I won 2 more but didn’t gain any rating from either. Any suggestions?
