Rating adjustment on Chess.com
If you win, you gain points. If you draw, you sometimes gain or lose points. But what about when you lose? How many points do you lose, and how can you tell?
The rating adjustment for your game doesn't have to be a mystery! Let's dive into the details of how to see the exact points you'll gain or lose in Live and Daily chess.

Live chess
In Live chess, you’ll see a message in the chat at the start of the game showing the exact points you’ll gain or lose for a win, draw, or loss.
No more guessing! Whether you win by checkmate, lose by resignation, or disconnect, the points listed in this message will always be the result.
Daily chess
In Daily chess you can see the win/draw/lose points by clicking on the 'Info' tab, and then clicking on 'Rating Adjustment'
Since Daily games are unrated until 4 moves have been played, you will not see this rating adjustment until the 4th move has been played.
