I believe the averages are based only on rated games.

Unrated game wins, draws and losses are included with rated game outcomes in the left side totals. Unrated games are excluded from the profile totals, percents and RHP official rating. How about a couple of unrated 3/7 or 7/7 unrated games. Since my serious medical ten month leave of absence my chess play has been in a purple funk and my rating has plummeted by 150+ points. So I've recently been playing unrated only to stop the bleeding and buy time to get my mojo back on. Few unrated arse kicking games from you may be just what the doctors ordered. Checked your profile. My request complys with your challenge criteria.

Why do you think Russ & Chris provided an unrated game feature? Unrated games have no impact on RHP Rating.

Trot your doubt over to the Help Forum or ask Russ. Please report back with your findings. Thanks, Dive. -gb

No sir, not bitter at all. I am just amused by the number of players who place so
much importance on their rating that they are compelled to use engines to aid in their
rating ascent. It is a joke really. Many of them would get destroyed OTB without assistance.

Welcome to the gang. Don't forget the creed...or do you even know it? "I pledge to do the best I can even though I'm I know I'm horrible at this game."

We all are my friend. Now players like K&P, skeeter et al. do know how to play chess. 😉

I don't think placing Skeeter and K & P in the same class is fair or accurate. Skeeter seemed to pick and choose too much, while K & P, he holds strong opponents primarily, although he does seem to have an altruistic approach now. I am currently playing him a game as he was recommended to me by a good friend on this site. Nice guy, knows his chess as a game and for discussion too.
