Back to forum Heinz-Georg Lehnhoff (2006-06-14 15:20:18) Rating formula (repetition) Heinz-Georg Lehnhoff (2006-06-14 15:32:51) Rating formula Hello Thibault! Where can I found the exact rating rules of FICGS? I have found only these lines in the Memberships - Terms and Conditions: "11. 7. Rating rules The FICGS rating scheme is a numerical scheme, in which percentage results can be exchanged into rating differences, and rating differences into percentage performance probabilities. It is mainly based on the principles of rating calculations of prof. Arpad Elo. The rating formula : New Elo = ((16 x Elo) + (Games x Perf)) / (16 + Games) ..." What means "mainly based"? You write in another topic "1. The rating system do not take account of wins when the ELO difference is superior to 350 points " Is this valid only for wins or for all games with a rating difference of more than 350 points? Wayne Lowrance (2006-06-17 19:02:07) Rating formula Okey Dokey, I understand. Wayne Thibault de Vassal (2007-01-21 14:31:00) Chess ratings Hello to all. I have been submitted this case : "Rating system: Look at this situation: Current rating ot the player: 2200, 10 games, all players with TER 2200, result 9=, 1+ Case 1: Finished games: 01.01-28.02: 9= --> New rating 01.03: 2200 01.03., no other finished games in this period: --> New rating 01.05: 2228 Case 2: Finished games 01.01-28.02: 9=, 1+ --> New rating 01.03: 2200 --> New rating 01.03. 2214 In case 1 the value of the won game was 28, in case two it was 14. IMO the value of a result should not depend from the number of games you finish in a period. The value of a result only should depend on the rating of both players that they have at the start (preferable) or at the finish date of the game and the result. And the rating formula should be like NewRating = LastRating + SumOfAllValuesOfFinishedGamesInThisPeriod. That's the way (idea) IECG is computing the ratings." This result looks quite normal to me as a player's level may increase as time passes. Rating calculations are done after periods long enough to avoid big differences... I don't know if you're right about IECG rating calculation, FICGS ratings seem to evolve quicker and I think it's best. By the way this system is used by several chess federations. Best wishes.
