Hi, I'm new to chess and the rating system.
I won a game as a 1265 against a 890, and my rating went down 20 points. Why is this?

Originally posted by MikeyObviouslyJust to explain how, as opposed to just why, your rating for the first 20 games is an average of the games you play. When you beat a player, you get a score for that game of their rating plus 400. When you lose, their rating minus 400. The 400 becomes 200 for provisional (p-rated) players.
