The nature of the points algorithm appears to be that lower ratings lose more when higher ratings gain less. I forgot to pay attention whether the converse is true - whether those with lower ratings also gain more when higher ratings lose less. That's probably what leads to the phenomenon you note on a game by game basis, but I _believe_ that it all evens out in the end. I wouldn't mind seeing the situation normalized so that everything equals zero on a per-game basis, either. ~ sleepwalks
