More ratings on playchess.com
The access client offers a new ratings for “Pool Blitz”, "Pool Bullet" etc.
In this mode the server automatically pairs the two players for the game. The main criterion it uses for this is the rating the two players have achieved.
Wherever possible the server pairs players whose ratings are at approximately the same level.
All the settings you had chosen in the Formula are thus ignored by the program when it is in this pairing mode.
The advantage of this way of assigning opponents consists of the fact that a player will be able to achieve a realistic rating relatively quickly.
If you prefer to find possible opponents as you usually did via the Formula option, you can as usual issue your challenges for “classic” blitz games.
If no appropriate opponent should be available, then the server automatically chooses a pairing for classical blitz.
The rating is shown separately in your profile.
Tip: All our web-based access clients (blitz.chessbase.com ) automatically start games in Pool mode.
