I won 1 game with both of us have a rating of 1000 - I earn 16 points, the most you can win/lose in any game.
I loose a game against Primative who had a higher rating than me, and lose 16 points.
Your maths equation stumps me, or I'd do it myself but I thought that because I lost a match to a higher rated player, I would lose less then 16 points.
I am assuming that it was because our Ratings were still close enough to gain/lose the max of 16 points, but I just want to confirm it with you Slynky.
Thanks.

Actually, I think you had a higher score than Primitive at the completion of your game. I had beaten him on the 20th (which lowered his rating to somewhere around 1013... I can't remember exactly) and if you lost 16 points (and now have 1000 even), then you must have had 1016 before the game with Primitive came to an end (you won a game on the 21st).

So, I believe you were just a few points higher than him...(remember to check the site after your games have been completed).

Cheers!
