How do the results of a No Hints game affect my rating?

No Hints games affect your rating as follows:

• If you are challenged to a No Hints game and you win it, you will receive 2.5 times more rating points than you would in a normal game.
• If you are challenged to a No Hints game and lose, you will lose the same number of points as in a normal game.
• If you challenge somebody and you lose, you will lose twice as many points as in a normal game.
• If you challenge somebody and you win, you will receive twice as many rating points as in a normal game.

Library bonus points are excluded from this calculation.

Say you got 10 points for winning a normal game against an opponent, and 4 of them are a Library bonus. In this case, the multiplier will be applied to only 6 points, and then 4 more will be added.
