Chess mentor rating changer

Sort:
Avatar of BunnyJones01

After every chess mentor lesson, your rating changes depending on how well you did in the lesson. With the tactics trainer, usually your rating changes from -9 to +9. But with chess mentor, my rating only goes up if I get 100% on the question, and even then, it only goes up 3. Anything below 100%, from 90% to 20%, pushes my rating down. Sometimes, I can lose up to 20 rating points on a single lesson, even if I got 60% on it. My question is if it's like this for everyone, or is there some glitch or technical problem with my chess mentor?

I highly doubt it's a glitch.

So what is happening?

The rating change depends on the rating of the lesson and your score. I have no idea what the rating of your lessons are, so I'm afraid I can't answer your question.

Okay, but just to let you know, the lessons usually have a rating of 1600-1800 on them.

Well, your current chess mentor rating is 1,665. You mentioned that your rating goes down by about 20 after scoring 60% in a lesson with a rating between 1,600 and 1,800. To be quite honest, I don't think that's very strange... In fact, it seems pretty normal to me!

Just like the law of nature, like why 1+1=2

I've found that different courses affect your score differently. I think different instructors have different standards. In fact, I went through a whole course where 100% on a lesson only earned me +1 point!

Most chess mentor problems I do give me +0 for 100% and -3 to -20 for less than 100%. I am in a no win situation. 🙈🙉🙊
