    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?

    Game 4034367 was too short to be rated.
    One rated game more and you get your green graph.

    The rating moderators looked at your game, and considered that although you won, it wasn't pretty enough play to merit a rating increase. Infact, they said it was so badly lacking in finesse, that they deducted you points. Doesn't happen often - you should feel lucky.

    If you look at your profile you can read "Ratings are provisional until 20 rated games are completed. Ratings may appear erratic until this time."
    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.

    Sure, do you?

    He had a question, did he get an friendly answer from you?

    This is my point: Be friendly to newcomers, answer their questions, be helpful.
    Over and out.

    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

    The 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.

    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.
