 Subject: idiot question on scoring
Message:
Hi
If I start a game against a player does the score I get at the end of the game reflect my opponent's current rating or the rating we both had at the outset of the game?
Cheers
Jibb

Q23: Which rating is used when calculating the rating adjustment after the game is ended?
A: The higher of the two ratings -- when the first move was made and when the last move was made in the game -- is used when calculating the rating difference for both opponents in the game. For example, if player A plays against player B and their ratings are 1300 for player A and 1400 from player B when the game is started, but just before the game ends their ratings are 1250 for player A and 1450 for player B. The system will use 1300 for player A (1300>1250) and 1450 for player B (1400<1450) when calculating the rating adjustments for this game. The only exception to this rule is if the player hadn't completed the first 5 rated games yet when the game was started, in which case the rating at the end of the game will be used for that player as everyone has a provisional rating of 1200 during the first 5 rated games.
