I just posted a thread, and remark i lost two points against a guy i won.
Sure he got a low rating but is it fair?
I didn't understand all the rules.
Can anyone can help me?
Many thanks
Don't tell me it's because his rating was lower than mine to start with....if thats the reason; it sucks. Would Karpov [or anyone else come to that] played me and won, [by some piece of luck or fluke 😀] his rating wouldn't go down would it???

Oh, I see that you are both provisional players... again, this won't happen after you've completed 20 game, until then it may happen every game.

Daft rating system, plain and simple.
Of my last 4 games, I beat a >1800 player, a 1500 player and a >1600. I drew with a >2100 player.
What happened to my rating? Down 4 points!
You were 1586. After the games you mentioned below, you are now 1673. Try again: What's 1673 - 1586?

If you like puzzles, take a gander at "Harshukutty's" profile. Look at the last 7 days...

2. Read the rest of this thread.
3. Read the FAQ
4. The maximum number of points that can be won/lost by non-provisional players is 32.

Hi everyone
I have some trouble renewing my subscription. My subscription expires in a cpouple of months so i decided to renew it. I went through the process but at the last step when I enter the name of the person i'm subscribing for it says this person is subscribed already.
What do I need to do to renew?
