I played on a chess portal with a chess rating system, but there was no such thing as awarding more points for beating beginners.
Player 1750 won against 1400.
According to the alternative rating, the winner gained 2 points, according to the chess rating - 4 points.
Player 1800 won against 1300.
According to the alternative rating, the winner gained 1 point, according to the chess rating - 2 points.
The difference is 2 times.
