I just finished my 21st game and won to someone that was lower points then me, why have I lost points again? I thought that stops when you complete your 20th game?
Originally posted by RagnorakAh yeah, I just noticed that one of them was unrated. I should have scrolled down a little further 🙂 Never mind. I must say I think it's also unfair that you lose points for facing a weaker player in a tournament. Random selection etc. Oh well, they're only points. In the grand scheme of things I guess it doesn't really matter that much at my level haha
That was your 20th rated game.
