New ratings base on rating at start or end of game

So are rating calculated from your ratings when you started the game, or are they calculated at from your rating when you finish your game?

Thanks

So I can affect my final rating and the ratings of my opponents just by timing the order in which I end my concurrent games? 😀

If you want to gain a couple of extra points, yes it would be advantagous to resign a losing game just before winning a different game. You could even prolong a game if you suspect that your opponents rating is going to go up, & lose less for a loss & win more for a win.
But is it really that important? Anyway, it's the same for everyone - swings & roundabouts...

Jon,

I have a couple opponents doing that. They are NOT pawn stars so I guess it's my fault for playing the CHEATING [CENSORED] 🙂

It's a very often discussed topic here, but I give it a try!

I think to unse the ratings at the begining is fairer (transparencey). What do you think?

I'd have to agree, ratings based on beginning rating sound more fair.
