Go up one level in this thread
Peter,
I am leaning towards not counting the forfeit (check spelling). I
think there might be a rule on that. I am checking, but please take
a look also.
The Bosboom game is more difficult. It would count for a human
player and give an accurate measure of strength. This game looses
significance as more games are played. I am reconsidering, however,
Bosboom chose to play and chose to quit. That is a measure of
strength. I would like more opinions on this, Bosboom has a lot
of short games in this tournament, I am sure the human opponents will
get all the points they are entitled to. I have had opponents (rated
higher than myself) that quit after a few moves because they were upset
playing a lower rated person. I got the points. I have had opponents
that drug the game out to checkmate even when the game was over long
before that.
Please let me know your rational for not including the game. Also,
should losses not fair to the programs also be excluded since they
also distort the ratings. It seems to me to equal out in the wash.
Just my two cents.
I try not to set policy, I think the tournament directors do that,
also, you can always recalc without the game(s) that you feel are
not fair. I want to be consistant and fair, what do the rules say?
Do the rules apply only when we think they should and only to the
opponents we choose?
I am still thinking on this. :)
Here is the TPR without the Bosboom game, still very impressive:
FIDE
Opp
Program HW TPR Avg + = - Tot
Fritz SSS 4x500 PIII 2612 2554 2 4 1 7 - Dutch Championship only
Pritz 6/SSS 4x500 PIII 2663 2563 3 4 1 8
Best Regards,
