- Well, you may not care yours and others rank, but most players on IGS do. It
- always is a big deal. :-)
-
- It is very hard to set your rnak on IGS. Some people suggested that
- set rank by
- ones record. That implied a big assumption that everyone except you
- already set
- his/her rank correctly. What happened if you beat a 6d easily and lost
- to a 29k?
- I believe that happened on IGS, so what is the subjective standard? It
- seems no
- way out.
-
- Don't worry, I got an ORIGINAL idea. :-) We can choose someone who is
- well known
- on IGS, say 'panx'. You can set your rank as fellows:
-
- 4.2panx, 1.3panx or -1.25 panx.
-
- In first rank, you can give panx 4-stones and win about 60% games. In second
- one, you play with panx in even game and win about 65% and in third one, you
- always use b in no komi game and lose 62.5% when you play panx. Is this clear
- enough? If you use this system, it is very easy to set your rank. Of course
- we'll choose more standard players like 'ychen', 'zhong' and 'onek'
- and work out
- conversion among those players. For example,
-
- 1ychen=2zhong=3onek. (please note, this is an example only.)
-
- BTW, 1 million thanks to 'tweet' for extra work for new system. :-)
-
- Have fun and enjoy IGS.
