rtv

Argomento: ratings question

I am new to this site and wondering can someone tell me how the ratings are arrived at? I'm primarily interested in how for the extinction chess. I see players with better won/loss ratios that have lower ratings than
someone with a worse won/loss ratio.
Is there anywhere on this site that explains how the ratings are arrived at etc?
Thanks

Argomento: Re: Ratings

Welcome rtv. :-)

The wins/losses ratio is useful in conjunction with the rating but is not directly comparable. It depends on the ratings of your opponents, so, for example, a high win count against weak players will not achieve a high rating.

Here's the brief BrainKing explanation.

And here are two in depth articles on the formula. It's a chess formula but is used for all games. [so far, hint hint, Filip, lol]
USCF Rating System and Chess ratings.

They're a bit mathematical but have a read of them and see how much sense they make.

Why can't I get all the smileys on my computer? is there a child lock

You have to push down the lid to open them.

OK not really! Go to 'settings' and tick 'show smileys'.

playBunny: That was yesterday. Today many things changed......

25. Agosto 2005, 00:54:50

rtv, put simply, your rating depends on your opponents rating too. If you win 10 games with players who have ratings of 1000 or less, your rating will likely be lower than if you'd won games against players with 1800+ ratings.
Its quite a bit more complicated, but thats a very basic idea of it.

Fencer: Personally, there are two things I keep in mind when I am going to put money (register) into a site.

1. Is it "Alive". It is important to me to know that others are doing it also. I don't want to register/pay for a site that is dying.

2. Is it being maintained. This is pretty obvious. Is the site owner still interested in the site and actively improving it.

This site Rocks...that is why I am still a member.
