nabla: I think there should be some sort of cap to BKR changes for a simple reason.

Earlier this year my ratings for Ataxx & Assimilation (among others) were 1800+

Then because my computer had a meltdown, i lost a lot of games (about 600) through timing out.

The problem is, that when i got back i was still in Tournaments i had entered with my high ratings, playing other top players. Obviously, many of them suffered badly (BKR changes up to 200) when i won any games as my BKR was under 1000 by then.

I personally feel sorry for those players as it was not done on purpose, and the same could happen anytime to anyone

Maybe a solution to this is games Won or Lost by timing out should not be counted by BKR.
