Make Tsumego Great Again!

Alright let’s get right to business: I suggest that instead of fuzzy suggested rankings, we do something useful with the tsumego and use the Elo system to properly judge how hard it’s going to be for someone with a certain rating. Assign an Elo score to every problem, treat it as a player. If someone fails to solve it, it gains Elo just like a player would; if it’s solved, it loses points. Whether it’s better to initialize a player’s “tsumego elo” to the overall/overall elo or otherwise, I do…

We don’t need to create any new puzzles for this purpose, but rather just give each puzzle and solver a ranking (and associated uncertainties to deal with those solvers that my introduce too much noise) and let Glicko figure out the difficulty of each puzzle (and automatically calibrated against each player’s gameplay rankings).
