The most important stat is the opponent average rating. And thats 900 points below his rating.

I usually end up giving them back in due time as I regress back to the mean.

I'm surprised you think you get 1 point no matter what. There are many times you got zero points on your own graph!

Originally posted by KnightStalker47A stat I find significant is the 410 moves in 7 days (average is 58.5 moves a day!). Amazing stamina even against lower opposition, although you can mix a couple 2000+ opposition in there too.

Originally posted by KnightStalker47I don't ever remember playing a game where my rating did not go up at all for a win, unless the game was unrated. I'll have to check. I tend not to look at the ratings here too much, so I probably just didn't notice.

The old USCF rating system was ELO-based like this one, and it used to award 1 point for a win no matter how big the discrepancy,and I did not realize this system was different. Theu current USCF system now uses "win expectancy against score group" and does not lend itself to an easy rule-of-thumb calculation.
Thanks for the "heads up".
