Fargo Rating - trends of top players over last year
- Thread starter mikepage
- Start date
Tonight's lists show 12 men at .800 or above and no women.
Shaw going up like a rocket!
He's now in 5th place behind only Wu, SVB, Orcollo, and Feijen. We need to see some matches between Shaw and Wu, Shaw and Feijen.
We had one of those at the Open 3 months ago, but you're right -- more would be good.
I really think the Fargo numbers work reasonably. Particularly at the pro levels. I'd love to see a Fargo tourney. World top 16 play Fargo races according to their current rankings. That would be pretty cool

If there is general inflation at the top that implies that starter ratings for average folks are too high and the extra points flow upward.

Starter ratings don't exist as far as the optimization is concerned; it knows nothing about them.
Math geek question following others may want to skip.
Then how did you establish the first player?
If the only data you had was 1000 games between SVB and ER split 501 to 499. You would still need to set a baseline. At some point you had no established players and there has to be a first.

Yes, he is well established (over 1000 games) at 745 --very close to Danny Smith's 743.
