calculate ratings according to the rules in the FAQ.

99% accurate, the margin of error is one point more or less, but i need to test it more.

Nice job, but I don't understand where the inaccuracy comes from.

Btw: A nice imbedded implementation of the ratings calculator has been done for Firefox by ouroboros. You just need Firefox and the Greasemonkey script.

Is it possible that one can lose rating points in a win game?
The last game I won I lost a point and the other gained points.

Because you have not completed 20 games your rating is still provisional which means your rating will be a bit erratic.

Ah, I see.

Then, after 20 games the rating-setting formula is applied?
What formula is applied before the 20 first games? How is the rating calculated?

Fairly simple average, see http://www.redhotpawn.com/help/index.php?help=faq for details.
