Nov-11-10		amadeus: --- Candidates Minimatches --- I have done a small combinatory effort this morning, and the results for the 1st round were 40-43% best rated player 29-31% draw 27-29% worst rated player PS: I have used the live rating, this table http://www.chessbase.com/images2/20... (which is more conservative than Elo's score prediction), and I estimated the draw % as around 60% -- actually, 0.64 - \|rat.diff\|/800, if rat.diff<35, then 35 [nothing special, it's just a rough estimate] () had I used Elo, and a few assumptions, the results for the 1st round would be: 46-52% best rated player 28-30% draw 20-24% worst rated player
