Hi all,
In my profile there is a section that says:
Moves This Month is the number of moves made since the 1st of the month.
Highest Rating excludes provisional (first 20) games.
Tournament Entry Rating is calculated by the formula (CurrentRating + HighestRating) / 2. The entry rating will never drop to more than 100 points below your Highest Rating.
I am in a banded tournament (1425-1450) but have been pitted against an opponent who has - at his best - had a rating of 1,788. Given that point 2 says the tournament entry rating will never drop below 100 of your highest rating - this seems anomalous?
I'm happy to play in unbanded tournaments, and will expect to get beaten by better players in those, but in banded ones I was hoping for a closer contest.
Game 11557186
Thanks for your time.
Paul
