Go up one level in this thread


I had made a similar suggestion to Dahoora on ICC a few years ago.  The idea
is that ratings are pretty volatile.  So my suggestion is that he take a
computer program that will not change and use it to measure rating drift
on ICC, and then if the ratings do drift he could adjust his rating system
accordingly to bring them back in line.

He turned the idea down.

I suspect that in a few years that online chess will be so easily available
to everyone that online ratings will be considered more important than OTB
ratings.
