rtv, put simply, your rating depends on your opponents rating too. If you win 10 games with players who have ratings of 1000 or less, your rating will likely be lower than if you'd won games against players with 1800+ ratings.
Its quite a bit more complicated, but thats a very basic idea of it.

Subject: ratings question
I am new to this site and wondering can someone tell me how the ratings are arrived at? I'm primarily interested in how for the extinction chess. I see players with better won/loss ratios that have lower ratings than
someone with a worse won/loss ratio.
Is there anywhere on this site that explains how the ratings are arrived at etc?
Thanks

You have to push down the lid to open them.

OK not really! Go to 'settings' and tick 'show smileys'.

Subject: Re: Ratings
Welcome rtv. :-)

The wins/losses ratio is useful in conjunction with the rating but is not directly comparable. It depends on the ratings of your opponents, so, for example, a high win count against weak players will not achieve a high rating.

Here's the brief BrainKing explanation.

And here are two in depth articles on the formula. It's a chess formula but is used for all games. [so far, hint hint, Filip, lol]
USCF Rating System and Chess ratings.

They're a bit mathematical but have a read of them and see how much sense they make.

Not sure if it's a bug or if it is suppose to be this way.

In the games which I have not completed a game for awhile (lets take Maharajah Chess for example), even though I do have a rating, it shows me as "unrated" while playing a game.

I would still think it should show my rating during a game, but just keep me off the "high ratings" list.

Example game: http://brainking.com/en/ShowGame?g=999430

So is it suppose to be like that, or is it a bug?

I, for one, am happy to see that "Nellaf" is finally gone from the Gothic Chess rating list So thanks for that.

There seems to have been a lot of "dead wood" on the lists, in some cases 40% - 50% of the players were pawns clinging to the posts. Has anyone else noticed that?
