Yes, the rating system tends to be self-correcting. One puzzling thing that I've noticed on ICC is players who are outrating their opponents by more than 400 points still end up gaining more than 1 rating point for winning (!), despite the alleged k factor. Normally, with the current k factor, the most you could expect to lose is 1 point if you're rated 400 points or more below your opponent. What gives? gm
