Today, I scored 2300 in rapid chess on the Chesstempo platform. This is not the ELO rating but the Glicko rating.
It is not expected to rise. Instead, it is expected to decrease.
I am not a very strong chess player, and there is an additional obstacle: there are not enough players on Chesstempo. Most of the time, I have to play with someone who is 200 points below my rating. As a result, even a draw would be harmful to my rating.
It is so even though Chesstempo is one of the best chess platforms on the internet.
The popularity of the service is not directly related to its quality. This is a well-known fact from the theory of conventions. For example, the most popular social media platforms are far from the best.
