Re: Rating floor turned off by default

Surely the average rating of ACTIVE players is rising. If I beat someone whose rating is at the floor, my rating rises butt opponents rating does not fall. Therefore our average rating rises.

Rating floor turned off by default

Like many others, I wonder why my rating is so high on net-chess. Looks like we follow the Elo calculation for each result. Except when the losing player's rating would go below his/her rating floor. E.g I've played the same player several times and their rating has always been 2100 before and after...
