About a week ago I saw a post that showed the effects on rating of W/D/L
against opponents depending on their rating. Anybody got a link to it please.

Great, thanks Ponderable, saved it now. Handy to know the effect of taking on players of different rank.

Surely the rating system is there so that you can get competitive games?
I really can't understand wanting to continually improve

The formula is in the FAQ.
I use that ....... although the table is useful.
Note that the table changes when the rating is higher.
that variable (called the K variable I think) is in the FAQ.
