Re: ChessCube Ratings
I am quite sure he was a provi, if he is a provi while your K factor is 24 his K factor is still 50 thus he will win lose nearly double you do.

The rating floor is your max rating - 200 rounded low. This means that if you have achieved 1800 points you won't be able to get to 1600 less rating even if you lose, even if you get to 1899 points your floor rating is still 1600.
Another point is that the max floor rating is 2200. Even if you achieve a rating of 2600 points you can get as low as to 2200 points rating. And you can't go lower than 2200.

This "ratings floor" is just a tool to keep players from leaving I think. But really, all it would take is a few good wins and they'd be back on track. Kinda of a wuss-bugg aprroach IMHO. Then again, we live in a age where people buy the "cheat" book with a brand new video game purchase....(sigh)
