What Is the Rating Change Factor?
There's a formula and basically let's say at the very base level, five point change. If your rating change factor is one, you beat somebody you gain five points. Those kids who were under 18 and under 2300, their rating change factor was four. So their ratings were going out four times higher and four times like up and down compared to normal folks. One teenager in the US in particular who in one month played a bunch of tournaments with his rating change factor and became nearly rated 2,640, which is top 15 the world. He bled like 90 points down because his rating was so inflated.
