please can anyone explain the ratings when i was playing chess over the board my rating was less than 100 now its more than 1500 (double dutch)?

castling is worth 117 ELO points
Send feedback (link at the bottom of this page) to get a copy of the form you need submit. I think they've begun requiring proper notarization, but it only takes a month or so and it's worth the points.
