I have played 5 rated games - When I click the 'info' link for each game the information shows that it was rated. Yet when I check my profile out it states that I have only played 4 rated games. Whats up?
One rated game more and you get your green graph.

I just beat a guy.. My rating was 1449 before the game..After I won , my rating dropped to 1441..Why is this? Sohldier

It has to do how the ratings are calculated until you've mad your 20th rated game.
How ratings are calculated is explained in the FAQ.

I'm sure that Sohldier doesn't.
It was not a bit helpful for him. In fact it was quite rude.
Newcomers are sometimes lost and need a bit friendlyness in order, not only became a member but also, to stay as a member.

Originally posted by SohldierThe reason the calculations of the rating may seem erratic in the beginning is to bring your rating up (or down) to its real value as quick as poosible. Rating should reflect your skill.
That's about as bogus as it gets..When you win, youwin... Anywhere in the world your rating will NEVER drop because of a win..So peddle that rhetoric to somebody else and don't insult a chess player's intelligence. Sohldier
When you're not an provisional player anymore, then the rating is as clean as you expect it to be, believe me.
Check the FAQ and read all about it.
