Yeah, until you have some doubt, read my message above in the first one

It also occurs with me sometimes

Fairness has nothing to do with it. It's a simple math formula called Glicko-2

Well, the algorithm was designed to match our idea of what is fair. So "nothing to do with it" is a bit extreme.

Call me a chess terrorist again, and I'll have your house blown up :)

No, its purely a statistical representation of probabilities applied to a perfect information game. It just happens to follow the rules of probablility of you beating your opponent with a differential in ratings of "x", with some happy sauce tossed in.

You could argue there are other formulas that are "more fair", depending on who you are. But, whatever.

Suppose a banana plays against Carlsen. If the banana draws, Carlsen will of course lose rating from losing against a banana. Same way.
