11. h3 Bxf3 12. gxf3 h6	My rating before winning this game was 1834. My rating after is 1806. Therefore, I question the legitimacy of gameknot, and I will be sure to dissuade others from using this site.
	3 comments a_random_guy (1985) on 22-May-18: Your rating loss is due to a quirk in Gameknot's rating system regarding players with less than 20 completed games. You can find more info here: gameknot.com gameknot.com theglennster (1200) on 22-May-18: You're too hot-headed archduke_piccolo (2355) on 22-May-18: Is that it? In my fourth substantive game ever on Gameknot, my 'rating' went down by nearly 60 points. I didn't know that at the time, nor did I care subsequently. The thing isn't meant to shake down until you have played 20 games. Everyone who has played on gameknot will have undergone the same process. Until your twentieth game is complete, you rating is only provisional.
