Why would losing 100 games to a single 2300 opponent >be less detrimental to my rating than losing 100 games to 100 different 2300 >opponents? Even this is (perhaps) just poking numbers into holes. Using the tool from the above web site, I used the following: Opponent rating was set to 2600 Total score to .01 (which is what an 1800 player would manage) Your rating to 2600 and it spit back: Your new rating is 2592, you lose 8. Perhaps this calculator also does not perform FIDE type calculations. Or perhaps I am using it incorrectly.
