My correspondence highest rating is not updating • page 2/2 • Lichess Feedback • lichess.org

Your current rating is 2014 at 03:15 UTC, the time of this post. It was 2014 at the time of my last post. Your highest correspondence rating is still 2005. If you start a new correspondence game now, you will get a new highest correspondence rating unless you lose it and lose 14 points from it. If you lose only upto 13 points, you will get a new high even by losing.

@FInLIp i have the same problem as @Purtzian. My current rating is 2004 but my high score is shown as 1991. The difference is that I don't have any correspondence games open rn. Why didn't it update?

If you read what I have written above carefully, you will know the answer.

In your situation, if you start a new game of correspondence chess and say you lose it and lose 12 points, your new rating will be 2004-12 or 1992 and then your highest correspondence rating will update to 1992. If you win that game instead, your rating will update to 2004+x where x is the number of rating points you gain from that victory and your highest rating will also be updated.

Now, some hypothetical situation: if you start ten games when you are rated 2000 and win all of them, your new rating will be 2000+all the rating points gained from the ten games but your highest rating will only be 2000+the highest number of rating points gained from any one of those games. That's how it works here. I don't know if that's the best but I've understood it and I think it has a point.

@thibault is @FInLIp right? because it doesn't make sense to me. If I have no games left and my rating rn is 2004 why isn't lichess just updating it?

@Maserot he is right. it just worked for me, but it's so stupid that it works like that. You are forced to play 1 correspondence game at a time if you want you highscore to be recognized. Should be fixed imo @lichess

Thanks for your help @FInLIp 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

@Purtzian You are not forced to play one game at a time. I used to play upto 200 games. If you reach a new highest score, start a huge number of games. Your highest score will keep increasing even if your ratings decreases.
