      I recently finished a game which I lost and my rating went down by about 60 points. I have played this lady many times so it wasn't someone new with a really low rating. Any clues how this can be corrected? Thanks.

        @marina-levy 60 points for a loss would be normal for a new account. Did you make a new one? It could actually be because they're a new player. New players start at 1500 now and for the first few games their rating swings dramatically until it averages out and starts acting normally. Say they win their first game, they might get +175 for a win. That said, I don't think an established player should be losing 60 points in that situation.

            @dan-mitchell No, I have been playing this lady for some time and although we are a little bit different in ratings I expected to lose maybe 15 or 16 when she beat me but it went down from around 1700 to 1641. Crazy amount to lose. 😞

              @sakamvari have seen that but doesn't not explain why I lost so many points. 😞

                @marina-levy Yeah, that's not normal. I've experienced something similar in the past, but it's rare. Do you play the live or email games? Perhaps you had some pending email losses and it hit you with those at the same time. That's just a wild guess though. I don't play email games.

                  @dan-mitchell Thanks for the response. Play live games only. One day an opponent was actually credited with my win, lol. For aa few points I wouldn't have worried but to lose so many in one hit was a shock to say the least.
