I am thinking about striking out ALL games where an opponent lost on time in view of the timeout issue which was out of most peoples control.
It would be a one-time thing. I would simply delete all the game records. This will make bayeselo more correct and accurate. Even the anchor player lost a bunch of games against really weak players. I will also modify the server so that losses by anchors don't count. - Don On Sun, 2008-08-10 at 12:00 -0400, Jason House wrote: > I like the idea of using Bayesian ELO ratings instead.
