Recent Games Ratings

In the listing of "Recent Games" the rating of each player is showed, but the rating shown is that achieved after the game was completed.  It would be more valuable information to know what the rating of each player was at the start of the game.  (Was I up against a higher rated player, or someone of the same rating as myself?)

A rating is an estimate of strength not actual strength. Beating a higher rated player means he was probably weaker than his rating indicated.

The theory is with that one more game completed, the new lower rating is closer to his strength than his old one.

I see.   Still, that's a bit of second guessing.  I am more a fan of factual information.  I want to know the actual ratings of the people I played against, not some estimation based on assumptions.   I can do that on my own.

It's kinda like letting the press corps decide who the best college football team is instead of having the teams actually play against each other.   One day, we'll get rid of those bowl games and have a real playoff.
