Rating gain by opponent strength

Super interesting everyone, thanks.

There doesn't appear to be a clear pattern across players in the small sample size we have so far.

So I'm going to take my stats as evidence that I play up to stronger rated opponents but also play down to lower rated opponents. This is actually something that I have suspected of myself before, interesting to see it born out in some data.
Low rated player here:

Opponent strength Rating gain Number of games
Much weaker 8.3 4
Weaker -1.0 25
Similar 1.0 163
Stronger 4.4 54
Much stronger 5.0 96
