Possibilities include that our dear earth starts to spin counterclockwise as Venus did. :) Hope that this bug will be fixed soon.

It's correct, if you win against very low rated players, it will be too easy and this will effect how you play future games maybe taking it a bit too relaxed

Their rating will go up because they very likely to learn more from a much stronger player

i haven‘t played against anyone and lost 20 pts. at once.
I don‘t understand that.

I think ratings were re-calculated again, they were gone for while and then they came back again. I lost about 15 points or so.

Richard unfortunately makes changes all the time without ever saying anything. I saw the ratings being tinkered with a few days ago, briefly resetting to 1500 and showing kyu/dan and ELO at the same time, but my ratings are so many and change so much I couldn't tell if anything actually changed. Apparently it did.

I would love love LOVE some kind of announcements page.

To me, LittleGolem is lovable; Richard is respectable. From the bottom of my heart, I hope to see that LG grows prosperously. The existence of a fair and rigorous rating system does play a very critical role in a board-game website. How much labor Richard and his assistants must devote to establishing such a system lies beyond my limited knowledge. However, let me suggest a method of this possible establishment. If it does not make sense, Richard can kindly feel free to ignore it. For those who feel that their current changed ratings do NOT represent their true strength, proceed to send Richard their own conscientious estimates. For me myself, at this moment, I only care about ratings of Hex-13x13 and Go-19x19, of which I won championship tournaments at least once in the past. Please give me 3 dan ratings for both. If I boast too much, these ratings will naturally drop to ones which will accurately correspond to my true strength anyway after several months. Thank you in advance, Richard.

He vuelto a leer la página de calificaciones y siento que ha sido modificada.
https://docs.littlegolem.net/ratings/

Pero en mi caso la puntuación ELO no es importante, pero si la KYU/DAN que es tan lejos he llegado.
O por lo menos que se vea la gráfica de evolución (como se podía ver con anterioridad).

Espero que se pueda arreglar

Muchas gracias por ese excelente trabajo.

Seguimos jugando desde el 2005.

Assuming that some of us, including me, are unfamiliar with the Spanish language, I used Google Translator and translated Diamante's message into English shown below.

**[I have re-read the ratings page and feel it has been changed.
https://docs.littlegolem.net/ratings/

But in my case the ELO score is not important, but the KYU/DAN is how far I have come.
Or at least see the evolution graph (as could be seen previously).

I hope it can be fixed

Thank you very much for that excellent work.

We have been playing since 2005.]**

thanks to all for the comments…. what means recalculated?
is the actual rating not the really rating???

#11 · The_Burglar

Might be caused by rating systems calculations been rerun using more or less decimal places

#12 · The_Burglar

From the latest docs they are calculated to 4 decimal places

Is there a way to see the actual rating and not the kyu/dan rank?

"Crelo" At the bottom of any game you have in progress, the Rating/Rank button appears
Right under the movements of the game, there you can change it.
