And what is the sense of that contribution? :) I see no reason to "simplify"
these values in a way that makes most performance based ranking differences
disappear.

We're talking a chess test, no? So I want to see different results for different
performances, not simplified ratings which result in identical values for such a
big bandwidth like 19...55 solutions. This is ABSOLUTELY NONSENSICAL. So what do
you want to tell us by that?
