6 points are taken from the player with the higher rating and put onto the player with the lower rating. 😀

This is incorrect. I'm not sure exactly what the formula is (I'm sure it's posted on here somewhere), but it takes into account the relative strengths of the opponents. If both opponents are roughly equal, then no rating change will occur. If someone draws against a significantly higher rated player, then he will gain a small number of points, and the defeated party will lose a like number of points.

Yep, that sounds much logical to me too.
