if your rating is higher than your opponents then you lose points! if you lose then its more!

thats all to it!

That's no explanation. The "system" was wrong.

A half point, yes, but over the board it would affect your rating in exactly the same way. If I earned a draw against a player from the top 20, I would be sorely disappointed if my rating didn't reflect my achievement.

If you were to secure a draw against some one 300 points above you would probably complain that you didn't gain enough rating points from your brave battle

three points? three points!? it is just three points. who cares about three points? after all you still have well over thousand points.
