1. Does anybody know which is worse a draw or stalemate? 2. Does anybody know where the player graph is the one where like if you are 1100 and you're playing some who's 1123 then you would gain 13 points for a win 6 for a draw and 2 for a loss (I don't know I'm just making up something but you get the idea)

1. Neither 2. If you click on my ID you will see my (non-existant) graph.

Does anybody know where the graph is or where I can find it?

Stalemates are draws.

A stalemate is just one form of draw. A draw can occur in a number of other, different ways. All draws are equal. That said, some are frustrating and some can be brilliant game-saving endings.
I can see your graph. Click on 'home' then 'my profile' and it is the big green thing in the middle of the screen.

That sounded sarcastic. It wasn't meant to.

"How long a minute is, depends on which side of the bathroom door you're on" ... couldn't think of a better quote off the top of my head but I hope this helps 😉

Okay that is going totally off topic, my next question is on "player tables" there is "map of the month" what does that mean?

That's Question 3. 😛

MAP of the month = Most Active Player of the month? Pretty much self-explanatory. 🙂

Edit - Sorry, MISTER CHESS beat me to it, rats! (Is your nickname Mr. Chess? )

Thats what my friends call me since they almost never beat me. It's nothing special since they aren't very good.

I wasn't aware that there's a graph anywhere on RHP for the rating calcs, but you can do the calculations manually using the following equations:

FAQ

Of course, doing the calcs manually would be tedious - a graph would be easier.

I would be quite happy with a draw when I play a stronger opponent. And if I can force him into a stalemate, then I'm really happy! 🙂

Anyway to see if there was a player before the current nr 1 to have than 2441?
and
I just found out that Ukrainians are a weird people, I live in Kiev, and speak Russian all day long, which Ukrainians here find ok, as they speak it as well. But in the Western part of this country, God forbid they hear one Russian word, so how in the world can I say Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays in 100% pure Ukrainian ?😀
