This is a great feature and I hope that eventually we will have modified K value for winning more prestigious matches like OSL or MSL finals over simple qualification games.

If I had known you guys were doing this I would have suggested Glicko-2, a modification of ELO ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glicko_rating_system ) instead; it's what's used on XBox Live and allows for Ratings Uncertainty and volatility and measures like that, making it in general far more accurate than plain vanilla ELO

Yeah, alot of other rated games now use Glicko instead of ELO nowadays.

For current rating that wouldn't be suprising at all

Glicko is not objectively better than ECO, they both have their up- and downsides.

Another great addition PoP, <3!

Isn't there a problem with inflation when comparing the peak ELO of players from different eras?

edit: I've heard that the Chessmetric system is supposed to be the best at calculating the relative historical rating of players.

Also, there's a fomula for factoring in the overall strength of the tournament into the ratings.

Glicko is pretty much universally considered better than ELO; it's basically admitting that ratings are wildly variable in certain cases.

It's a pain to describe, though, and it's kind of more complicated. Check http://math.bu.edu/people/mg/glicko/glicko.doc/glicko.html out (the original glicko webpage), and just think whether or not it's worth it. I think it is; others might not.

Another great feature. I'm really impressed with all the work on this site.

I'll add my voice to those calling for Glicko2, if it's not too much trouble.
