It is possible for your rating adjustment to be calculated incorrectly if you choose the random opponent option. Your rating after beating Sam (1439) in your first game should have been 1839. This bug has been found and fixed, and will be in the next patch. Unfortunately, because the development team is pretty much entrenched in producing the French version, the next patch will likely not be released for several weeks. Until then, I suggest not using the random opponent feature. My apologies for the confusion, jm
