How can overall total ranking and overall ranking for live games be different (in this case)?

Just for emphasis:

@flovo

We changed the breakdown ratings to compute against you opponent’s overall rating, so the ratings should be on comparable scales.

@anoek

Speed and size specific ratings

It’s been a known issue that you can’t really compare the different ratings on your profile. Your overall rating had pretty much nothing to do with your live 13x13 rating for instance. This is because they were computed using completely independent rating pools.

@flovo came up with the great idea of using your opponents overall rating when updating a sub-rating, this has the effect of the rating pools converging into the same scale as the overall rating pool, so the individual ratings should be somewhat comparable now.

If it’s changed since then, like we reverted back to the old system of using a sub rating to update sub ratings, or some other random notion instead, I am not aware of it - I’m not just playing stupid for the sake of it, which I feel like this very much implies…

@GreenAsJade

The bigger the rating difference between the players in a loss, the less the impact of the loss…

Right?
