Re: Chess Ratings

by "Ray Gordon, creator of the \"pivot\"" <ray@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Apr 23, 2008 at 10:21 PM

The Elo system is not perfect, and requires further adjustment in any 
individual form of competition.  For example, in basketball, K has to be 
scaled so that the ratings can generate pointspreads, and one must use 
"replays" or re-rating the past month or so, with caps, to account for
teams 
who suddenly improve or decline, as the system is too slow to catch it.

The problem with Elo and chess is that chess knowledge is not fixed, so a 
zero-sum system makes no sense.  The "expanding rating universe" you see 
with the methods used is actually more accurate.

Don't rely on overexposed, mass-marketed commercial seduction methods
which 
no longer work.  Learn the methods the gurus USE with the money they make 
from what they teach.

Thinking of taking a seduction "work****op?" Read THIS:

Beware!  VH-1's "The Pickup Artst" was FRAUDULENT.  Six of the eight 
contestants were actors, and they used PAID TARGETS in the club.  The paid

targets got mad when VH-1 said "there are no actors in this club" and
ruined 
their prromised acting credit.  What else has Mystery lied about?
