On-line rating (discussion)

I'm also glad that Vitaly responded so quickly to my suggestion about the seasonal ranking, but I think there's still room for improvement – after all, the points for the seasonal ranking should be calculated based on the overall ranking, and not the seasonal one, because if some strong player has been away for a month, it doesn't make it any easier to beat them, but they get fewer seasonal points for winning against them. IMHO.
