Glitch in Rating Calculation and Record Keeping

Last night, I played two games in a row against a player. I won the first game, but lost the second.

After I won the first game, my rating went up, but his rating remained the same.

After the second game, his rating went up and my rating went down.

When I mouse-over this player's name, lichess tells me my record is 0-1, but it should say 1-1.

Here are the games:


The advanced search shows indeed two games between you and V1per_6. Your rating was +6 for the first game and -8 for the second. His rating was -5 and +6.
No glitch for me.
Sheckley, it shows all that for me too, BUT THERE IS STILL A GLITCH.

It SAYS his rating went down 5 points, but it did not! It was 1799 going into our first game and it was 1799 again going into the second game. You can see that in the links above.

Moreover, while both games between this player and me also show up in my Advanced Search, the record it displays does not recognize both games.

Click on either of the game links shown above and then go the the "Crosstable'. The Crosstable should show that we are 1-1, but it only shows his win and not mine.
Can't say anything to the crosstable, but you can see in his game list, that he played (finished) one more game between the both games against you. This two additional game compensated for his five points loss against you.
Thank you for helping me isolate the glitch to the Crosstable and win-loss record keeping sheckley.
