How you score games
-
When I win even by a landslide I get at most 4- 7 points. When I lose by a small margin I lose 16-18 ponts. Just wondering how you calculate your scoring? Please advise.
Thanks, stoneridge lexulous email

The margin by which you win isn't important, its the rating of your opponent which decides, if he/she has a higher rating than you, you will get more points, if a lesser rating you get less points

@wildest40 Exactly. In fact when we set up a game it tells us ahead of time the rating change win loss or draw. It all depends on the opponent's statistics

Where does it show this?
-
@unskoolbookshop just enjoy it. It depends upon rating.
-
@unskoolbookshop When the window opens up telling you someone has requested a game, it will show how many points you will gain with a win, how many you will lose with a loss, etc.

@thatguythere202 Ok, thanks. / Is there a way to find out this info about games one is playing with existing opponents?

@pangloss
Note under where it says "Rating Change." -
The process of scoring games varies depending on the type of game and who is doing the scoring.
-
@stevediaz Doesn't the game score us automatically?
-
It depends on the specific game you are referring to. Some games have an automated scoring system that calculates your score based on your performance in the game, while others require manual scoring by the player or an external party. Additionally, some games may use a combination of both automated and manual scoring systems. It's always a good idea to read the instructions or guidelines provided with the game to understand how the scoring works.

@stevediaz Ah, I didn't know that. I only play online at the website and the scoring is automatic there. Thanks.
