Note: Tiebreak criteria

1. the sum of Sonneborn-Berger points, which are calculated as follows: match points of each opponent, excluding the opponent who scored the lowest number of match points, multiplied by the number of game points achieved against this opponent;
2. by the number of the game points scored;
3. by the sum of the match points of all the teams opponents, excluding the lowest one.

  Reb - I don't think so. I mean you can look at the initial RatAvg's and then go from there..old on a second, lemme look... (Insert Jeopardy music here)

   It shows you their originally seeded number with of course, the postions that they finished in

   I was really hoping for a Russian Gold medal. Perhaps if Svidler won his game on board 3, I might be celebrating instead of being mopey. Since I read that Ukraine and Israel agreed to draws with 90 minutes, thoughts couldn't stop entering my head of a conspiracy of stopping the powerhouse Russians from winning shiny gold. Hmmm, I might have to bring this up at the UN and email Putin.

ChessMarksTheSpot, thanks for your journalistic efforts on the Olympiad! The majority of my colleagues are Ukrainian,Israeli orHungarian so it should make for a peaceful Monday :-)

   Reb - I guess so, but, being Russian, I don't look at it that way LOL

   Nick - thanks. I tried. I really wish though I did the whole event, and not just four days of it. I had a few problems I had to deal with in the middle and was stressed out about things, but, I wanted to do the last round for everyone, even though it is the internet age and information is rampant and my help was generally not needed. But I feel kinda better now that I did this

Haha, true!

Btw, does anyone know what the Rc and Rp columns on the official site mean ? They appear to be ratings assessments but not sure of the difference

   Yeah a few teams exceeded their rating averages and finished better, while others just sucked dirt. India to me would've been a lot better with Anand, possibly Top 5, but definitely Top 10 overall.

   I've been wondering that myself. Anyone have an idea about this?

   Nick - about those two columns:

What does Rc in the tournament table mean?

Rc is the rating average of your opponents.

What does Rp in the tournament table mean?

Rp is the rating performance. Read our section on rating calculations.

Rating Calculations

The rating scheme used by PlayChess is based upon the rating schemes used by many other organisations (FIDE, ICCF, IECG).

The application - and even more the deduction - of the rating scheme requires a lot of mathematics. But don't worry: as a player you don't need to understand this scheme - PlayChess does all the math automatically for you.

The following "mathematical treatise" is given here just to

• demonstrate that there is no hidden magic in the rating calculation
• enable the mathematicians to check our numbers
• prove how extremely clever we are ... :-))

Rating Scheme for Dummies

If you are just a humble human being, not a god of math, here are the essential ideas of the rating system:

• A rating number measures the strength of a player.
  The higher the number the stronger the player.
• If two players of same strength (say rating 1000) play against each other,
  their rating performance will be as follows:
  • The game is drawn (½-½)
    The rating performance of both players is 1000,
    because they played like expected.
  • Player A wins (1-0)
    The rating performance of player A is 1400 (+400 points).
    The rating performance of player B is  600 (-400 points).
• The future ratings of both players will be calculated from the rating performance of the single game played AND from the rating they had prior to the game.
  In the example above (1-0), player A had played 4 games before, and player b had played 1 game before. The new ratings of the players are calculated as follows:
  Player A: New rating R = (4 × 1000 + 1400) / 5 = 1080
  Player B: New rating R = (1 × 1000 +  600) / 2 = 800
• If you win or draw against a stronger opponent (higher rating), your own rating will rise even stronger.
• If you lose or draw against a weaker opponent (lower rating), your own rating will drop even stronger.

The ratings of experienced players (more than 10 games) are calculated by a more complicated formula. There, the simple "arithmetic mean" formula above is not sufficient, because the rating of these players would change VERY slowly (imagine players with more than 100 games!).

The Complete Rating Scheme

Principle. The rating scheme is a numerical scheme, in which percentage results can be exchanged into rating differences and rating differences into percentage performance probabilities. The basis of the scheme is the normal probability distribution.

Provisional and Established Ratings. A player has an established rating, if he/she has finished at least 10 games, otherwise his/her rating is called provisional.

Cut Off. To keep the influence of largely different ratings small for the preliminary (and established) ratings, a rating cut-off is used. Anytime the difference is larger than 400 points, the opponents rating is treated as being 400 points higher/lower than the players rating.

The performance probability is calculated by the formula

The expected rating changes based on the percentage result is given by

The percentage result is calculated by

For the calculation of the ratings, the opponents "Tournament Entry Ratings", which are valid on the day of the rating run, are used.

Calculation of Established Ratings

For each finished game the rating change is calculated by

The expected result We is calculated using formula (1) with the rating difference of the two opponents. The development coefficient is a stabilisation factor and is given by

The next rating is calculated by

Calculation of Provisional Ratings

The Provisional Rating is calculated by

  Reb - I posted it a couple of replies up   

  Rc is the average rating of your opponents

   Reb - I'm not really that shocked about Israel's placement in the Olympiad. They had a solid team and played all their matches pretty well. Spain shocked me, as well as the U.S. team, they entered 9th and left 9th, I figured possibly they might go higher than that with the team they fielded.

   Armenia was a little disappointing and Mags showed that he was, in fact, human and capable of getting beaten. Ivanchuk was a machine throughout this entire event, pretty much giving Ukraine gold just on his shoulders. And I still want to enhance my feelings about India and Anand. I don't know if that is going to be mentioned in chess circles in the next week or so, but, him not being there was crucial to that team.

   Reb - you're right about Karjakin. I would shudder to think the results that Ukraine would have if he was playing for them. Probably would've been a lot easier for them and not so close in the standings.

   About Anand, this really bothers me a lot. He is the World Champion and ranked #3 in the world behind Topalov. Now I was rooting for Topalov in the WC match in Sofia, despite his cheating image he has on him, but Anand missing this event, hopefully for some serious reason, really, to me, brings a small dark cloud over him. I might be pushing this a little too far, but it just irks me. I do hope though nothing serious happened and it was just about the money as usual.
