My profile shows that i have lost two games.But I am only able to find one game which i have lost.Don't see any other game that i might have lost.And I really do not have that many games in my list not to notice. Could some one familiar with this help ?

It says you played ten of which nine rated games. When I look up your finished games I indeed find eight wins and one loss, which means the unrated game doesn't show up there.
Did you play a set-up game or did you finish a game by timeout or something like that at move one or two?

That is strange. Your profile says you have played ten games (of which it says you have lost two games), but when I search for your games, it lists twelve, and even in that list, it shows that you have only lost one game. Seems to be a bug. You might want to click on "Send Feedback" and report it.

EDIT: Actually, 9 completed games are listed, but it shows 10 games played. There still is a discrepancy though.

Does the rating come down even if you win against some one who is rated below you.I lost like 39 points after my last win ?

It can come down while your provisional. The game between you and I, your rating jumped up several points and mine dropped down. Even with the result.

Game 8875597 this one is weird... it showed up as the other player winning(and as being black) when I looked in your public games the first time but now its showing you winning as black.

That second game is a pretty checkmate. Nobody likes to lose, but if I had to, that's the way I'd want to go!

Well I gave my best shot in our game...but alas it didn't work out. At least our game featured a questionable sacrifice and a poetic under-promotion...

Can't get 'em all in one volume I guess.

actually mine dropped from 1770 to 1739 after i lost the game..dont see the logic behind u losing points .because if that's how the system works every one would only play a player above them and the person right on top would not wanna play any one 🙂

You went from 1738 to 1739.

I dropped from 1945 to 1944.

If you read your ratings whilst a provisional player it clearly states:


1. Ratings are provisional until 20 rated games are completed.

2. Ratings may appear erratic until this time.
