    Rating decreases when winning low rated players

    Hello,

    I've noticed that my rating will decrease when I win a game with low rated players (i.e. I'm currently 194, I win a game and my rating decreases as my opponent had a rating of 84).

    I can understand the logic behind this but it's unfair don't you think? I mean, it would be fine for my rating to stay the same but decrease is a bit too much as we don't get to choose the players we are challenging.

    Any suggestions welcome but I think this is something that definitely needs to change.

    Thanks!

    Hi, welcome to the forums.

    In the upper left, you will see a search bar.

    Type in the search bar "rating" without quotes.

    THANKS A TON!

    Wow a helpful post...... Are his trolling days over?
    For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.

    The rating system is all sorts of messed up, My opponent was taking FOREVER to sac in the 2nd turn (I think) of the match, so im like F this, and quit, the *not long enough for exp blah blah blah* thing pops up and right after it says my rating went down by 2 whole points... Cant wait for the new system

    Which match was this? Your rating shouldn't go down by 2 points if it saids the match wasn't long enough.
