Hey there,

I'm pretty new on the site and this whole chess thing and I was wondering how you can know the affect a game will have on your rating?

Thanks!

If you click on the details tab on one of your games, there is a link "show rating details". Or if you're looking pre game, look at the game seeks, and it will show you on the right.

Thanks, but is there anyway to set it myself when I start a game?

 No; rating adjustments are based on an algorithm that takes several factors into account, including both players' ratings.
