@thebigkat saidSeems to have disappeared from the site entirely now. I was curious to see how someone could drop from #1 to 1450 rating, but get no result in a player search.

@tommovich saidwhen you start a game with someone rated, say 2550, then that person's rating goes way down, for whatever reason, so at the end you win the game..do you gain points based on his rating at the BEGINNING of the game, or at the END ?
Cenerentola resigned about 90 games all on one day a few days ago, hence his rapid drop in rating.
Virtually all the games he resigned in were against players rated below 2000.
The games he has decided not to resign are all against players rated above 2000 (who will now all be losing a whole load more rating points than they were expecting, if/when they lose to him - at the time of this posting, he’s rated 1450.)
@ogb saidhow can you have such a high rating and not know the answer?

@lemondrop saiddifferent websites and OTB tournaments handle this issue differently. Some give 1 point for a win regardless of the ratings. If I knew the answer, I wouldn't have asked the question...

@ogb saidyou've been on this site long enough to know how the ratings are calculated

@ponderable saidIf it WAS at the start of the game wouldn't that put a stop to the sandbagging?
