Why are all standard Daily open challenges now unrated?

Sort:
Matt_Rouge

For reference, I joined in early 2018.

I used to go to Open Challenges all the time to pick up a standard rated game. Now, for months, ALL of the challenges are marked "unrated"--whether for standard or Chess960.

(Chess960 games have always been listed as "unrated," even though they affect one's Chess960 rating. I took that to mean that the results in Chess960 would not affect one's rating in standard.)

When I have posted standard open challenges recently, I have made them rated and they have been actual rated games, but I don't know how they appear (I should check this with a IRL friend...)

I don't know which of the following is true:

1. The games are listed as "unrated" but they are actually rated.

2. No one is posting rated challenges for some reason.

In any case, there has to be a reason for this change. Thanks for helping me understand what's going on!

Does anyone have any idea? Thank you.
