Or so I thought, after I beat him his rank dropped to 1320 - am I reading that correctly? Seems drastic. Also, I didn't gain many ranking points by beating him. http://www.chess.com/members/view/redsabbath#games

Seems drastic. He's brand new - when you've only got 4-5 games under your belt, your rating moves a lot more. If I beat rego in our current match, I'll get 84 points, and it's my 5th game, and he's got 117 points on me right now.

The strange fluxes in rating are caused by Chess.com using the Glicko system not the Elo one.
Since the last positional problem seemed to pose an interesting challenge, I thought I'd post another one to give people a chance to test their positional understanding.
