When two players are matched, their ratings are displayed.
When they win, draw or lose they get a rating change.
1. Can we not display that information ahead of time beside the chessboard?
2. Would this not in a way show odds of winning ? If both would have the same increase in rating for a win, then the odds are equal.
The rating difference of the players could then be used as a weight factor to adjust the reduction in time required to even the odds for both players.
As the difference in rating increases, the time of the higher rated player gets decreased proportionally.
