Hi Scott. Welcome to the site. The change in rating depends on the difference between ratings. Also the increment will be smaller if you win against an opponent with a lower rating than you and larger if they have a higher rating. It works the other way, you can expect a larger rating drop if you lose to a lower rated player.
