seen it too lol
i actualy sent him this msg:
''Hello,
for your information, i doubt anyone will accept your open game since its possible to lose rating when you win a game. if the rating differs really much, the player with a high rating will lose rating weather he wins or loses.
I calculated for you that if a player with 2000 rating would win from you, he/she would lose 1389 rating points.

Thats why i doubt anyone will accept your open invite.

cya,

I wonder if I should accept for fun, but then delete the game after a move. That would teach people not to behave like that.

Your statement is plain wrong.

The higher rated player would just get 0 points from winning.

And there is a maximum on rating points exchange.

after 720 points the higher rated person doesn't gain anything from winning...it doesn't matter what the formula says they should lose.

My guess is that you somehow messed up when calculating the win expectancy. The only way you could get a result where you lose rating points for a win would be if the win expectancy would be > 1, which it can't be. In this case it's very close to 1, which makes the number of rating points gained < 1, and only full rating points count, so the rating stays the same.

I did. As I said, the win expectancy is very close to 1.

Yes, as I said, less than a point, thus nothing.

And it would be returned to the open invite list automatically.
That function was created because of people like you appointing themselves as 'open invite moderators' notably XantwatNZ or whatever he was called.
