Current average chess rating

So if I tried to understand economics (which I'm ignorant about) via chess ratings (ok, I'm already lol at myself) then inflation is due to routinely overestimating the value of commodities.

By the time you find the correct value, it's too late, everything in the system has become "more" expensive (without altering the relative value between them). In other words the price of a car may be 10000x more than the price of a loaf of bread no matter what. But instead of 1 cent vs 100 dollars it becomes 1 dollar vs 10000 dollars.

Well, yes, economists make extensive use of statistics, which is just about applicable in any form of academic research involving sample data. Both discIplines, while distinct, employ mathematical methods to represent theories and analyse problems.

I'll warrant that the conceptual notions revolving around Elo were of interest before Mr Arpad Elo. But the intricacies, the underlying mathematical aspect of it likely was not, and the mathematical aspect contributed a significant lot more (else, on which ground would the ratings be justified). 

I'm not here to discuss math history, but might I add that 1000 years ago, mathematicians were concerned to a greater degree with pure math and the application of some of their problems, rather than mathematics employed for zero sum games like chess. They probably had to invest more time into ploughing the fields or hacking at the grass than develop a framework for the primitive zero sum games.

That goes said with John Conway's statement that all games are inherently mathematical. Such a statement on its own, of course, will not seem very much, but there are quite a significant array of implications, e.g. in combinatorics, game theory, logic, etc. Sadly Conway passed away just very recently on April 11 due to COVID 19. We all know of the incredible contributions he made to math. A natural problem solver, known universally to computer programmers as the creator of the Game of Life, and yes, I can't enumerate the massive impact he made on finite groups, knot theory, algebraic number theory and what not.

Speaking of mathematicians who came with the solution 100 years early, there's always the thrilling George Dantzig, who is also known for his simplex algorithm. And let's not forget me! I solved the Riemann hypothesis when I was 0 (my age may sound trivial but really if it does, you've just found yourself into the essence of the problem). Take that octogenarians!

Well, it depends. For instance, when I started, I stated that I am a 2 out of I don't know 5, or 7 in chess (can't remember how many values were there), and I was set to a rating of 1 000. A little more than 2 months later, I am over 1 300. Not that great, I know, but it seems that my initial estimation was somewhat low.

On the other hand, I had an opponent 2 or 3 days ago. I saw that his rapid rating was 1 400 and I was a bit hyped about the game, as I had a couple of games against 1400-1450 players and those were mostly nice games (a few terrible losses, a few nice wins and wild games as well). I didn't checked his profile before the game. It turns out I have beaten him easily in around 20 moves, and I even missed great opportunities before that. His rating plummeted to below 1 200 so I checked his profile and saw it was his first rapid game. In his case he actually set himself to high in the beginning.

I remember an article on chessbase about the mathematical flaws of the elo system, the gliko rating system is almost certain to have a flaw.

You can't, it's talent. some people are born with it. FACTS.

My IQ is 80, I am 81 years old, and I am 2000+.

IQ=80 ?
LOL this the lowest I have heard for a while, don't give up, kid.
By the end of 2050 you can hit 85 IQ with constant training.

I was a Soviet national mastering my 40s. Unfortunately my chess playing abilities have declined.

I'm 18 years old with IQ of 127.
I remember playing against Bobby Fischer once and he told me that I'm a prodigy.

Is that why the 11 year old @scaryninja has a blitz rating that's 400 rating point's higher than yours?

18 Years old + Played against Bobby Fischer ? Didn't you catch the troll? That's really an 80 IQ.

Lol, I new that you were trolling, I was trying to troll you by not raging.

I knew you were trolling so I would pretend that I didn't know and troll about the troll you made.
Peace my friend, Together we can run chess.com forums. MY COMRADE.

Good luck

IIRC it was failing to predict matches when the players were ~400 points apart. So sure, it's not a useful tool for that case, so we should consider modifying it for those rare cases.

I know that glicko tried to fix that, but glicko can be improved.

When originally posted in 2018, this topic generated 1 response. In the last 2 days it has generated 81+. I think that helps explain the ratings drop as much as anything . . .

Eso quiere decir que si juego en liches tendria unos 1600?  wow
