Games against teams within about 100 rating points are often the best indicators of a team's actual strength.

"Effect" ranges from "---", a game that caused a large decrease in the team rating, to "+++", a game that produced a large increase in rating.

Note that wins over very weak teams may actually hurt a team's rating (the opposite is true for losses to very good teams).
