someone work out a bkr change for me please.
I played 5 games and had 2031.
I win against unrated they go to 1300 I stay 2031
I win against 1480 they stay roughly the same I stay 2031. so now 7 games, but not changed, surely these last two should have changed me by 1 or 3 or something small.

Subject: Re:

Something like

Rpost = (NRpre + mRavg + (W-L)400) / N+m
= (5x2031 + 2x1390 + 2x400) / 5+2
= (10155 + 2780 + 800) / 7
= 13735 / 7
= 1962

Apparently the system corrects for ratings going down when winning though.
You can't expect to gain anything playing against players rated 700 points lower than you.
