M rating was 989 or thereabouts a few minutes ago, it's just gone down to 948 but I've not lost any games in the meantime. What's going on? Can anyone please enlighten me?
If you enter into a rated game, your rating will be recalculated on its completion so long as at least two moves have been made by each player.
Note: Until you have completed 20 games your rating may go down even when you win a game!
Until you complete 20 games, you will have a provisional rating. This rating is calculated as the average of all the games you have played. Each game is scored as being your opponent's rating (for a draw), your opponent's rating plus 400 (for a win), or your opponent's rating minus 400 (for a loss). If your opponent is also on a provisional rating, then the 400s above become 200s. If your opponent has played fewer than five games then their rating is treated as 1200 when calculating your rating.

Hi there,thanks for this but...
I started playing over a year ago, I know how the rating is worked out. But this is unusual in that my rating went down by about 50 points WITHOUT me losing a game to anyone.
