ze counting of ze ladder

[Manus von Olie]

I don't understand the counting of the ladder: the starting point is 1000 points. Now I first loose a game with some hundreds of points difference with my opponent and then I win one with over 2000 points difference with my opponent. New score: sixhundred something[&:][&:][&:]

Should it not be over thousand again? Overall I did better than somebody who didn't play yet, I think.

Dear Manus,

please try to read the given information first [:D] and then try to understand the formula by which the ranking is calculated [:o]: If you win from a player who has a low ranking that doesn't give so much boost to your ranking, see?
