Each newly registered player starts with a myELO-rating of 1500. If you win,
the rating will be raised, if you lose, it will drop. If you want to challenge another player, you will be shown an anticipation of your winnings showing you what your myELO-rating would look like if you lost, won or if the game ended with a draw. If you play against an @member or a player who is no registered member of myChess.de, the game result will not influence your myELO-rating unless your opponent registers as a full member during the game. In this case, he will have a myELO-rating of 1500 during the current game. As soon as you finish your first game, your new myELO rating will be included in our Hall of Fame. You can simulate the calculation of myELO ratings before a game with our:
