Accidentally resigning while winning

Yeah I downloaded it from there previously also. Thanks for linking.

So it is a bit easier to determine whether a 5k is ‘actually’ closer to 2k, than whether a 27k is ‘actually’ closer to a 24k by looking at the game record.

I think as well the rating gaps between ranks are not constant

@shinuito

I think in lower ranks ~15kyu or so, it looks like it’s about 50 rating points gaps between ranks. Then around 5kyu = 1550 ish it’s starts to become a bit wider, 1620 ~ 4kyu, 1690~3kyu and 1760~2kyu so about 70 rating points gap.

Now 1840~ 1kyu so 80 points gap, and same to 1920 ~ 1dan. For 2dan upward it’s actually like a gap of about 90 up to about 4dan.

Then it’s like 100 points to get to from 4d to 5d at 2290, and similar to about 7dan at 2490, like 110 to get to 8d at 2600 and then I think 120 to 9dan.

In elo the difference in rating translates to a probability of winning, but the difference in ranks will be a bigger rating gap at higher ranks than at lower rank.

Like at 15 kyu maybe a three rank gap is 150 points, but at 4d it could be 300 points. So it could be a much more decisive advantage at higher ranks translating rating gaps to probabilities.
