Does the ELO system really work???
Sort:
I am a 700 rated player in Rapid, and 500 in Blitz and Bullet. Whenever I do a review, the engine almost always says I am around 1300. On other Platforms such as Chesskid I am a very high rated player. It is confusing because I can beat 1400 players, but online I have a hard time winning
The in game reviews are still a fairly new feature. They start with your rating and add or subtract points based on how you are judged to have done in three phases of the game.
It is good that you are getting some high numbers from those reviews but something else is dragging your rating down. Do you lose on time a lot?
Real ratings have been based for the last 60 years on results, not how you play during the game.
They seem to have resulted with Magnus on top for the last 10 years. That feels like it makes sense.
The people who he has played in tournaments are close and he loses sometimes but he wins more than he loses, even when playing the top players.
chess.com doesn’t use elo
