Elo Question

Hi Miguel.

TER (tournament entry rating) is used for chess, while the current rating is used for Go... Ratings are updated after each game for Go.

Best regard's Miguel Pires

Elo Question

Your TER was 2019, your current elo is 2160, higher than the previous one... What is the point ?

Elo Question

Sorry. I'm going to try to explain (in portuguese is more easy): In 01/01/2007 my rating is 2160 In 02/01/2007 i drew a game against an opponent: His TER 2053 mine 2019 Now if i'm going to see my next rating calculation i see i lost 7 point's, but if the elo is calculated with the TER i can't lose point's, correct? This is the point Miguel Pires PS: Sorry my bad english

Elo question...

I have a question...

I have now 1410 Elo points and at next elo refresh (1st May) I probably raise at 1576 Elo points.

Now there is a problem: I arrive at 1576 becouse I have won 5 game where after 15-20 moves my opponent's clock silently finish without any other moves and in 3 or 4 of this games my opponent was in a really good position.

The question is:
Is possible do not to calculate elo variation of this particular games?

I think it is a good idea to make an option that when I win a game by time, I can choose if this game will be calculate or not calculate in my elo variation...

I suggest this becouse I gain elo points from losing games and it is not fun :(

Sorry for my bad english... :)
