I wonder what are the criteria used to score this site. I've been looking at the list of members and there are people who scored high as 4579, 2899, 2555 ... Some of these are on site for only 01 years and already have such a high score, how can this be?
I see some new members, with a few games yet, already reach 2100, 2200 and did not understand what those criteria are as I already have a significant number of games, with many victories over opponents from scoring big, but my score is taking to increase. I won with a score of top players and increased 3, 5 points and in other cases not gain any point. Can anyone explain to me how the points system the site?

You can find out information about the rating system in the Help section. Particularly Help >> About This Site >> Ratings.
The most important thing to keep in mind ... if you play against opponents that are rated below you, your rating will increase very slowly. If you want to increase faster, you must pick opponents that have a rating significantly higher than your own. Had you done this during the first 25 games, your rating would have increased faster because provisional ratings are more dynamic, however it should not take you long to find your true rating.

Good point. I suggested to one who was lamenting his own low ratings that they were hardly indicative of his true measure as he had been repeatedly tackling a more advanced player, with predictable outcome. His game was also improving rapidly, despite the ratings.

You are playing players so far below your rating.
