How does anybody realistically gain anything with 56 rd 💀

"How does anybody realistically gain anything with 56 rd 💀"

Personally I play higher ratings opponent's so I stand between 61-64 RD in deferent games.

you know there is a button to quote right

With new mobile I didn't.

there are no wheel of fortune games

How is the Glicko round rating determined to be "79" for this dude, Beltran_amo, in 2 different games the same? His rating should be lower than all the players yet it is higher.

Could you look into this and provide an explanation please?

I don't think you understand how Glicko works. Basically, it starts very high when you have 0 games (idk the actual number but i think its about 130) and reduces quickly as you play more games, reflecting that you are closer to your actual rating. The higher your RD is, the more you lose/win per game in an attempt to bring you closer to your actual rating.

People like @Calagane (in WFT Teams) and @BoxJellyfishChess (in chaturaji hyperbullet) have (or at least used to) an incredibly high glicko RD because they won all their games.

For more information, try https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glicko_rating_system

I hope this helps!

Thanks man, this makes more sense now.

I would add on that people who play hundreds of games against weaker players instead of playing close to their rating’s level’s Glicko RD will increase, meaning that their rating is more inaccurate. This is a double-edged sword since they gain more rating but also means they will lose a lot more points for 3rd and 4th.

Having the draw option in Hill Monsters can be used as a way to cheat, which should be banned. Many examples have been found today, such as https://www.chess.com/variants/custom/game/51134280. What can we do while this issue is investigated?

I agree that it's an issue with the current ruleset, unfortunately I can't do much about it (unless we disable draw offers in a future gamerule) at this point, but the CGAs are aware now.

WoF is unplayable even from arena screen and game end screen although i am not playbanned

I've seen that a lot. For now, it should be fixed immediately if you click back on the "Home" tab with a list of listed games.
