Actually, what you'll see is the rating for turn-based games. If they have played only live chess games, their turn-based rating will remain to reflect 1200, as this is the rating everyone starts out with and unless you play a turn-based game, it'll stay like that forever independent of your live chess ratings.
Have fun!
This point may have been brought up before, but I feel it is important - whilst simple to put in place.
When you hover your mouse over a player's name, their rating appears, this is their highest rating, however if their only active grades are below 1200 - for example if they only play blitz and turn-base and to a level <1200- then 1200 will show as there grade. I feel this is misleading and could be changed.
