If the players you're playing have close to the same ratings as each other, your rating very possibly could not change, considering a provisional rating is simply calculated by averageing your opponent's ratings (+400 for a win, -400 for a loss and no change for a draw). So even if your opponent's rating is very close to the current average of your opponent's ratings, it very possibly could not change your rating even by 1.
When you're on the last row, you can't move that pieces except to jump sideways (and then possibly more jumps after that - including backwards). On any other row you can move sideways or forwards.
