happens in all the board games if you draw and have many more points than your opponent, then you will lose a few i don't understand why, draw is a tie, meaning nobody wins. and if the lower rating gets points, than the higher one feels like he's been defeated :D
The rule is perfect, it's you that's not. Live with it..if u drew to someone way lower than you, means u don't deserve to have the ammount of points you had, and the other guy gets credit for drawing with someone higher.
but come on this is like gambling you play a game, you bet points if you draw [(in any gambling game) i don't know about board games] there is a "push" usually pushing goes to doubling your wager you can accept or decline but nobody wins the first one if it is draw.. heres an example you're carrying $400 and going to an alley to play ceelo the other person you're betting against has $20 if you both roll trip 4s you should lose money because you didn't beat him? no! you either push and play again or keep the bet the same and continue.. you see what i'm saying?
It aint like gambling.. here you use ur brain. And if you take these points as serious as money.. then gl.
hey yo chill with that you went to far as you can see (if you can read properly) it was an example to make my point get it? :)
The system is good in every game that is a draw between two perfect opponents. For example, when chess is played perfectly by both players, it's a draw. If you have more rating points than someone else, then theoretically you should be able to beat them. If you draw with them, that means you even with him, which means you shouldn't have more points than him. But for connect 4, if there is a draw, then that means Blue did a good job (might have even played perfectly) and Red did a bad job (made at least 1 error). So Blue should get points, regardless of how many points he or his opponent has. Same with in Gomoku, which should also be won by the first player.
