Bug level

Good evening,

I won my last game, but my level is going down 17.6 to 18.8k. On my profile, it’s possible to see my level 18k before my victory (and 19k after). I think there’s a problem.

Thank you for your help.

The games you won were 9x9, the one you lost was 19x19.

19x19 game results weigh heavier than those of 9x9. About 4 times.

Ok, thanks for your answer.

There are some more factors at work which can influence your current rank: the rating algorithm considers 15-20 of your last games and also keeps track of your opponents’ ratings. Say you beat someone who was higher rated at point x in time, but who then loses a few games, you will (after the fact) receive fewer points for the win than you initially did. Conversely, you might get a higher point deduction for losing to someone who then goes on to lose more games.

Of course it’s always hard to rule out an actual bug.

There isn’t problem, I may have been favored in the last games by the algorithm. I reported my situation in case there is a bug, but I understand that could be a normal regulation.

Be aware that the rank on the home page doesn’t update unless you refresh.
This may be confusing the issue. Rank update on “home” page
