grenv: sorry .. my fault .. my message directly below your message which was a reply to me (phew! ;)) .. anyway .. that message of me was a reply to peeky

about the other rating issues .. i agree with you ;)

when i want to judge my opponents strenght i look at his bkr, the number of games he played, how many he won, and his graph to see how he did lately (he could have lost a lot by timeouts, and dropped momentarily :)) .. so i combine all those data (and rarely i look who were his last opponents :))

i would love more types of ratings, but i dont know much about the overhead it would create .. that depends on the database structure
