It's strange that the rating on two websites uses the same formulas and the same initial data, but the results still differ by a few points.... Why is that? I still don't understand...
I noticed several problems/inaccuracies in the new rating:
1) It records games in the log, but doesn't calculate them. For example, my last 5 games haven't been calculated, although they are in the log. You can see that they haven't been calculated on the graph below the log; it shows the "movement" of rating points - it's very inconvenient to use, but at least it's something. At first, I thought it wasn't calculating games from 2018, but no - for other players, it calculates some of the games from the new year. Games from the last 2/3 weeks are not being calculated, but I can't understand the logic/reason.
2) As an example, with korovka1987, it records and calculates everything, but doesn't display it in the General rating.
3) As an example, with Joker2k, the number of games is the same in both ratings, but the number of wins/losses doesn't match, i.e., some rating calculates some results with the opposite outcome.
4) For some "old" players, the number of games in the new rating is higher than in the old FTS - 382/378, herolwy - 472/440, Gomunguls - 905/787 (!!!) and so on. Probably, the new rating takes into account very old Tournaments that are not in the Nitro rating, which is also why there are small discrepancies when the overall numbers seem to match, but in one rating, for example, they gave 15 points for a win, and in the other, 14.
