Hi people, I haven't dug in on this thread so I can't really say anything sensible about how to to compute such significance tables like Christophe made. I just wanted to give a link to Sandra de Blécourt's homepage for people who are interested in the background of the Elo-system. I must admit that I haven't yet installed a Postscript-reader so haven't read her thesis myself but I thought it might be of some interest, as Prof. Elo's book is not always very illuminating and not everybody has a copy of that around. There seem to be lots of other interesting links, to tranlation pages etc. on Sandra's homepage as well. http://gene.wins.uva.nl/~blecourt/ http://gene.wins.uva.nl/~blecourt/ratings.ps Another subject, I tried Tom Kerrigan's TSCP translated to Pascal from http://www.optimalcode.com/ but the .exe file won't accept any moves! I like the idea though as personally I'm more familiar with Pascal than with C. Here in Europe a lot of students learned Pascal, Fortran as a scientific computation language never really cought on. I guess now it is C here too but Pascal is most probably still taught as well because of its clear structure. Anyway in the TSCP Pascal listing I ran into things like "continue", I can't really remember that as Standard Pascal, does somebody maybe know what it does, if it is something specific to Delphi or not?. Probably not the right forum for this. Haven't heard anything of Tom for quite some time, I hope he is alright? Eelco
