It seems a bit strange when moveixx has played a total of *thirteen* games to
declare that the rating system is "meaningless". What you have observed only
occurs in the first few games. I've forgotten now how many games it requires
before it settles down.

If you want to argue in general that the rating system is meaningless, that is
reasonable. I don't believe that the phenomenon you have observed is an example
of the meaninglessness of the rating system.
