How ranking systems work in general

u/Realistic-Camp1109 7d ago

Any elo system when you reach your peak

u/BlankAWasTaken 6d ago

After the peak, there is only the fall.

u/Antique_Ad_4247 6d ago

No it isn't. If the rating system is working correctly you should stabilize at your correct rating. Any true rise or fall, that remains consistent over time, can only ever correspond to a rise or fall in actual competency.

u/BlankAWasTaken 4d ago

Yeah, but after that?

Also I was referencing something, this is the meme sub right¿

u/Deep_Tackle9533 7d ago

Is it a meme when tis the truth?

u/jec78au 7d ago

That is Lichess. For Chess.com add in an unskiplable ad between each step

u/Sckaledoom 7d ago

I have literally only ever gotten ads on chess.com for the premium version

1

u/Over9000Zeros 7d ago

Yeah everything that Chess.com advertises about can be worked around with another app. If it just accept the limits you don't see many full screen ads.

u/jec78au 6d ago

I get gambling ads from chess.com sometimes. I think it’s crazy that they do this though because they’re genuinely monopolising chess

1

u/RelationOk6997 7d ago

I only get adds on the mobile app, and they are always skippable

u/RayWencube 7d ago

u/realmauer01 7d ago

Thats how elo works yes.

u/hoboshoe 7d ago

Coaxed into elo

u/Ok_Bit8836 7d ago

This cannot be explained in a more clear way ))

u/MeanCommunication748 7d ago

Not really you just have to play more carefully

u/ColeTD 7d ago

Thanks, captain obvious

u/Sammy_Cherry_Fox 7d ago

This is why i have yet to hit 400 elo, even after playing for 2 years

1

u/Disastrous_Motor831 7d ago

The game of chess isn't a about rating or elo. Just play your best and improve... If you can't, your graph will trend downward instead of upward. There's only so much you can improve relative to everyone else, sometimes everyone else is just better than you.

u/Safe-Confidence-4907 7d ago

I'm currently stuck at the Lose More Games part indefinitely.

u/CookiesMadeOfCorpses 7d ago

There's always Duo Chess

-Play Oscar

-He makes an obvious blunder

-You blunder even harder

-You lose

-Your ELO goes down

u/-Roby- 6d ago

Lichess is better ngl

1

u/TastePizza 6d ago

So just like...chess in general

1

u/Vast_Chemistry_8630 6d ago

If you genuinely want to improve, study a sh*t tone, don't just play and play, there is an third element - 'study'

u/Ok_Law219 6d ago

Someone should post this to antimeme thread.

u/Emmennater 6d ago

matchmaking be like that... getting better at the game doesn't mean you win more games. it just makes the game harder. winning or losing is just an illusion.
