Nothing like setting high goals for yourself! Actually the chess.com rating system is quite different from the one FIDE uses. It's sole purpose is to try and find you a good match and it's correlation with FIDE ratings is vague at best. I'd better grab you the article...
Question about the mmr system
Sort:
oh thank you very much.
MMR?
Do you play Starcraft 2?
-----------------------------
Mainly i play hots and wow.
It'll take much longer than 233 games to get good enough to get on the level of Magnus Carlsen.
I recommend starting with a more reasonable goal for now, of about 1000 rating or something.
I love how many people dont get the example.. hahaha
I dont think our brother expects to be on magnuses rating...
The question was about a hidden mechanism that would allow for one who is sitting on a on an given elo to climb faster then the regular pace..
For exemple, if you grind a lot on chess.com and go from 400 to 700 in a year.
Then you stop playing on chess.com for 3 years but keep on practicing elsewhere.
When you get back to chess.com and if you have actually improved your chess you will win more.
Let's say the elo that makes sense for you now is 1200.
The question is if the grind from 700 to 1200 would be game per game, or would chess.com recognize that you are playing better (not just winning, but also better moves maybe?) and start matching you with higher elos?
I wouldnt know because I've been playing for 4 years and am still 400 hahahah, but it seems logical that yes.
I took some time to read the article above and now the answer is defininetely yes.
The more you play, win and lose on a given elo the more Standart Variation will of you elo will decrease. (meaning that the given elo is true to your skill at that moment).
The more you start to statisticaly deviate from your elo, the SD will increse which will cause a bump in your elo gains.
I am very new to this game and currently sit at 700 mmr. I am getting 9 plus/minus 2 points substracted or added to my mmr depending on the result of the match.
I saw that Magnus Carlsen has an mmr of 2800, at the rate in which im gaining points i must win 233 games in a row to reach his mmr.
My question is: is there some mmr internal mechanic that allows for people who win a lot to climb faster or is it an unavoidable long grind?
