Great question. Basically, new folks are brought in at some guesstimate rating (1,000 ?) then each game is zero-sum, with loser A losing X points and winner B gaining them. X depends on the ranking different. Defeat someone much better? Big X. Defeat someone weaker? Small X.https://twitter.com/robkroese/status/981705010248650754 …

2/ Newbs are around 200. Played on and off over the years? Maybe 400-700. Starting to practice and play daily? 1,000. Serious players? 1,400. Club players? 1,700. Grandmasters? > 2,300. Magnus (top player)? 2,800.

Replying to @MorlockP
Note that online rating systems are generally inflated significantly in the middle range compared to in person tournament ELO.
