Hi, I have just added a small utility to my web page. You give it the number of wins and losses of a match, and it calculates the likelyhood that one player is best. It comes with a short paper explaining how the calculation works. You can get it at: http://remi.coulom.free.fr/ I know someone else (sorry, I do not remember who) posted something similar some time ago. I wanted to make my own and share it with everyone. The way it works may sound a little naive to an expert in statistics. The technique I use probably already has a scientific name, and there may be better ways to implement it, but I am confident it is correct. I believe it is much better than the Student's t-test that I have seen used in some scientific papers. Rémi
