Yep. I appreciate OGS’s honesty in this regard. Many servers give players the false impression that playing stronger or weaker than your rank is very unusual, when if you look at the glicko-2 numbers on OGS, it’s quite clear that the win probability for a player 1 rank stronger than their opponent in an even game, is far from overwhelming:

A player 1 rank stronger than me is about 55 elo above me. I don’t see an expected win percentage, but Elo Win Probability Calculator estimates my win probability as still 41%. This could vary quite a bit depending on how different the OGS glicko-2 implementation is from the assumptions that site made, but the real value should back up the general idea that it’s not that big an advantage to be 1 rank stronger in the high sdk range
