no this is relating to your RD! When you start you have a high RD and the more you play the lower your RD becomes so your rating deviates less! GO read about it on the site! Its the best way.
RD= Rating deviation
Rating system is rigged
Sort:
Rating deviation is a fancy name for rigged.
When you make the open request, there is a button that says something to the point of: Press this if you want the person to see your game before they accept it. Or you can always just adjust your rating scale thingy.
So it's rigged.
I´m having a hard time understanding the glicko-system.
So clearly it must be cheating.
A system is a system. It's rigged.
I'm not sure it's rigged. It's just designed for the top tier players. It doesn't seem to apply to people under 2000. I suspect the reason it looks dodgy is really a by product of the fact that 1200-2000 players are vulnerable to each other. That's a pretty wide margin.
Small comfort when it happens to you.

Tell me about it! I've just lost 5 games straight.
Try playing 25 games and seeing your rating rise 10 points, maybe.
Yep that's a nasty business. I don't think the standard player has any business messing with ratings. I mean a defeat in Chess is bad enough to deal with without having a number to go with it.
It's not right that a draw is no longer a draw. It's a loss for the player who has the highter rating.
You're right that isn't right. Does that happen anywhere else? Probably not.

come on people!!! this is the rating system used by most chess sites and is not "rigged." this just helps people get their future rating faster and it evens out on the other end.
It's rigged.
You know, you could probably think of something more meaningful than claiming that the standard is rigged. Perhaps you could give some evidence, beyond that of your own preference. Unless you have it, I suggest you keep quiet and learn more things.
Perhaps you'd better think instead of twiddling your "rating scale thingy".
Okay, let's suppose it is rigged. If so, why? Who benefits?
Just curious...
It's rigged to hook new players into the system by giving them high ratings fast. It keeps old players striving to gain a higher rating which they can't do because the system is rigged. It discriminates against the player with the higher rating. It is a rigged system. I never said it's unfair. I said it is rigged (that is, designed to be the way it is).
The rating system for Chess.com is rigged so that players with low ratings accept an open challenge and within the space of one fast game suddenly gain very high ratings. A little cheating by the system it would appear.
