Rating does not change after games with one specific player

As the title says. There is a specific player where, after we finish, there is no change for either of us in Elo rating.

If the game is not in training mode and there was a winner, Elo should be adjusted. If not, that would be a BGA bug. The game implementation is responsible for determining the winner, not adjusting the Elo.

Have you played repeatedly with the same player, always with the same winner?

Thanks Jellby, I presume that's the reason. There aren't that many people playing the game with regularity.

Frustrating situation.
I play a game against a random person, and afterward, we rematch. I win both, and the person requests a rematch.
I have to decline, because a third win comes with an Elo penalty.
