I believe that some subs have a higher rating because they can play more games compared to non-Subs.
I know my rating hasn't stopped rising yet and probably will go up some more but I see some of these sub ratings and their rating is greater then mine but I think we are about the same.
I've played several subs around my rating or higher and either they are over rated or I am under rated.
I just think more games = higher rating.
Agree, disagree and why?

(2) If you play more, you get more practice, your skill will grow and this reflects in your rating.
But it is *not automaticly* so that your rating will rise *only* if you play a lot. There is a lot of players that play a lot but their rating doesn't get better a lot. Or even a bit.

there is one pool of players here - mixed subs & non-subs
I'd suggest there is some sub-grouping within this - some subs play only other subs; some non-subs never/rarely play a sub.
In my own experience, i'd suggest (cue me getting flamed) that non-subs have slightly inflated ratings...

Originally posted by RahimKNope, my rating takes a hit with the more games I play. Quite simply, more games equals less time, equals more blunders. For this reason I am reducing my game load to around 20. So therefore, I'd say subs do have the advantage IF they can keep their games down to 20.
