What should a ormal Rating Graph look like?
There is no simple answer to this question. However, most players tend to have quite slow changes in rating so a reasonably level graph is ‘normal’. For a good general impression, look at the Rating Graph showing the results in colour and with the opponents ratings superimposed. Most ‘normal’ graphs tend to show that the opponents rating fluctuates above and below your own rating. It would, however, be unusual if your opponents ratings were always above, or always below, your own rating. Most ‘normal’ graphs show a mixture of results, and are unlikely to show exclusively either all wins or all losses over a 50- or 100-game range.
