Why do we get so few points while winning good? • page 1/1 • General Chess Discussion • lichess.org

Hello, I got + 5-6 per winning even tho the winning is big. I’m 843 and I started few weeks ago, is this the reason why? So it’s an Ironman to progress at this rhythm isn’t? :(

Thank you

i think, the more games you play in a short time, the smaller the number of points added / lost will be

There are 3 results, a win, a draw and a loss. A win is a win, it doesn't matter if you barely win or smash them with guitars.

The amount you get for a win, draw or loss depends on your RD (rating deviation) and your opponents rating. What #2 said is about RD. The more games you play the smaller your RD will be until it hits the floor.

If your RD is at the floor and you beat someone rated the same as you, you get 5 or 6 points. That's just how it is for everyone.

If you want to win 7 or 8 points, play someone rated 100+ points higher than you.

Eh - If I play 101 points higher - I will loose...
Then 287 points are away?

The number 287 was not real but:
This is strange. My diary says, I played against Babayaga66 and lost 6 points.
He got 147 points for defeating me.

SteveWatson, this is because this player is likely more newer to the game. Lichess will increase the number of points won/lost because they want to find an accurate rating for this player to improve this community. The number of points they can win or lose will decrease over time.
