Originally posted by MarinkatombI believe that was explained as his rating wasn't re-calculated correctly after a few tournament games (before the game you state). Russ eventually corrected it and gave him his points.
It is a bug in the grading that i reported two years ago at least! I've gained 20 points after losing before. If you look at Mephisto2's graph you'll see the same thing happening...
