I still think the rating system on here is not correct. I got a draw with Chess Carpenter and there was no change in rating points. That never happens.

And look at Descenter. He was near 2100 when I was about 2200, and he made a losing move on move 5 of our game. There is no 2100 player that I know of that would play so badly, so this system has ratings that are at least 300 points too high, maybe even more.

Another thing is that all of the "early" players were thrown into a pit together. We were all rated 1300, and it took forever just to claw our way to 1600. Now someobody comes on board and beats an overrated 1900 player and they are instantly at 2300.

Does not seem to reflect the way the "real rating" system works.

My overrated chess rating is the perfect example. For 12 years I never broke 2300 in United States Chess Federation play after having made master at age 19. On here, I play for one week, and 2641 sits next to my name.

I really don't think there is much weight to the system, as it is implemented on here.
