ICC Ratings Question - 2006/07/26 18:47
I recently lost several games to 2 different players, and in both cases I felt that although our ratings were similar, their play was significantly stronger. On checking their ratings, I noticed that both had recently had much much higher ratings.
Player 1 - currently rated in the high 1800s, but only last year had a blitz rating of almost 2600
Player 2 - currently about 1750 but only 3 months ago had a blitz rating of about 2250
no matter how badly I play, I never lose 700 points or anywhere near. How is it that some players have a rating substantially lower than a few months ago?.
