| Jun-08-06 | | TIMER: <TheGladiator> Then how do you deal with the problem that due to averages your performance rating can go up when you lose or down when you win? In my example Anand's performance rating could drop from 2800 to 2400 from a win, while his opponent might have jumped from 1600 (after drawing with one) to 2000 after the loss!? Lots of paradoxes can occur with no limit involved. |

 | | WannaBe: <TIMER> Blame the ELO formula. It's not the player(s)' fault. |
|
| Jun-09-06 | | ARMENIA: If I have to pick a team to win the World Cup (Futball) I will have to go with Czech Republic! |
|
| Jun-09-06 | | ARTIN: What surprises me more is that Gormally was allowed to roam about free after punching Aronian. The Armenians shouldn't have been given the opportunity to "make sure he doesn't do it again" the next morning (if the reports are true), he should have been locked up and not allowed to enter in contact with other players. Just because he's in Chess Olympiad doesn't mean he can't be taken to the police. What a moron. |
|
| Jun-09-06 | | ughaibu: Some young guys have punched each other, complete routine stuff, not worth a fuss. |
|
| Jun-09-06 | | DUS: <Just because he's in Chess Olympiad doesn't mean he can't be taken to the police.> <ARTIN>, Of course, I completely agree with you. I understand also the position of <ughaibu>, but in fact this "hero" is not that young and at the same Chess Olympiad he had already done another, I think even worse, "heroism". Please read the following portion of posting by Cecil Brown: <Jun-03-06 Cecil Brown: From the British Chess Magazine website http://www.bcmchess.co.uk<..."Danny is clearly wrestling with demons of his own. When the entire hall rose for a minute's silence as a mark of respect for the victims of the Indonesian earthquake, England's fourth board remained slouched in his chair."... >> How to explain such attitude and how to call it? It is unfortunate that Levon Aronian and other people of Olympiad were in the same tournament with such participant. |
|
| Jun-11-06 | | TheGladiator: <TIMER> I don't deal with it, neither does anybody else ;) Performance ratings are generally not meaningful when you meet players much higher/lower rated than yourself, but it can't be compensated by using limits like you suggest (at least that's not the way it gets done - the 350 limit is only used to calculate rating gain/loss). Using a random limit of e.g. 400 gives strange results too. What if I (FIDE 1983 I think) would draw Anand? Would that really be a 2343 performance? Why should it be? If my pal with 2200 FIDE drew Anand, that would be a 2600 performance (?) and if Topalov drew Anand, it'd be a 2800 performance? Doesn't make any sense to me... When calculating rating gain/loss, however, it makes sense to have the 350 limit, to make sure that it doesn't matter if you calculate gain/loss 1 game at the time, or for a complete tournament (based on average) in one fellow swoop. The only thing that was wrong (IMHO) with the TPR on the Olympiad sites, was that they used rating estimates for unrated players when calculating TPR for the rated players meeting them. That doesn't make sense, either... |

|
| Jun-12-06 | | Rawprawn: Maybe draws should be decided with boxing gloves? Might wake Kramnik and Leko up a bit. |
|
| Jun-12-06 | | TIMER: <TheGladiator> Maybe just go by the rule that a win/loss should not decrease/increase your performance rating : Once you have calculated a performance rating, take a away 1/1 from each opponent that would decrease it and 0/1 from each that would increase it, to get a fairer performance. So if you had 75% with half your opponents rated average 2700, other half rated average 1700, that should count as atleast a 2700 performance, as each win against 1700 decreases it.Likewise if you had 25% it should count at most as a 1700 performance. You could iterate your performance using the 350 rule until it stabilises for a fair performance rating, unless you scored more than 88% or less than 12%, in which case performance rating is hard to measure as the result is too extreme. Perhaps in that case caculate as if 89%/11% (ie add/take away 350 to highestlowest rated opponent) and then say  at the end. For example: 2335 scores 6.5/7 against 1788 average with only opponent rated over 2000 being 2150.
The iteration method will result in 2150+350= 2500+ performance, based on 89% against 2150 is 2500. This does not depend on your own rating either. |

| Jun-12-06 | | gus inn: about the < Gormally - Aronian incident>. Danish GM Sune Berg Hansen told that ,Seirawan tried to stop Gormally.And somehow Timmans wife (they were dancing together -Timman and her )got hit !

| Jun-12-06 | | Marvol: <Ezzy: <Marvol:> Excellent find! > Don't thank me, thank the the website of the dutch chess fed for posting the game. It featured the dry comment 'Always nice when they allow this.' |
|
| Jun-12-06 | | alefromitaly: <sapfy> Thank you very much. |
|
| Jun-12-06 | | cotdt: this olympiad will be remembered for two things, and two things only: kramnik's comeback and ana |
|
| Jun-12-06 | | Marvol: <codtd>: what about the historic win for Armenia? That is actually what I remember most of all.
Then I also remember the Russians finishing 6th - historically low - and, indeed, Kramniks return to form. Anand underperforming is nothing to remember AFAIC, everyone's got bad spells sometimes and this was one of his, duh. |
|
| Jun-12-06 | | cotdt: this olympiad will be remembered for one thing, and one thing only, then. Gormally beating up Aronian and Yasser Serawein's subsequent martial arts moves to save Aronian. |
|
| Jun-12-06 | | Chopin: <cotdt> <this olympiad will be remembered for two things, and two things only: kramnik's comeback and ana> I will remember this olympiad for losing all my chessbucks on Russia. |
|
Jun-12-06
 | | IMlday: I will remember this Olympics for (a) extra-Spartan accomodation; (b) Aronian and the Armenian wave; (c) Kramnik's return to health. |

 | | Benzol: I heard through the grape-vine that whilst the playing facilities were adequate the facilities for bathing and the accomodation were somewhat lacking. |
|
| Jun-14-06 | | acirce: <Incidentally, there was nothing to stop the chief arbiter Geurt Gijssen from double-forfeiting Armenia and Hungary for their pre-arranged match, but that would take some courage and Gijssen is not known for standing up to the top players or FIDE.> <Armenia and Hungary broke the rules by agreeing to a result before the match started - just as Armenia and Georgia had done at the previous Olympiad.
Both deals were common knowledge at the Olympiad; indeed the Israelis told the arbiters the score of the Georgia-Armenia match in 2004 before it had started. (Despite the official protest, lodged before the match, the arbiters took no action.) It just requires a bit of courage by arbiters to stop the flagrant rule-breaking but noone is prepared to do it. In this case Gijssen could have proven the breach easily, since the players were openly discussing it long before the games began. He just didn't have the guts to do it. (Note that Gijssen was not to blame in 2004 - Leong was chief arbiter.)> http://www.chessninja.com/dailydirt... If this is correct, it looks like a great scandal to me. Pre-arranged draws are of course commonplace, but the equivalent of this would never be tolerated in an important individual tournament. Imagine the leader of next year's World Championship tournament openly discussing beforehand with someone out of contention to agree to a draw in the final round to secure the former's victory. |
|
| Jun-14-06 | | notyetagm: <acirce> Totally agree with you. Armenia and Hungary should have scored 0-0 as a result of a double forfeit. Scandalous to be so brazen about it. I remember the big scandal at the US Championship a few years back with the same problem in the last round. I don't know if those were pre-arranged though or just spontaneous short draws. And you are right on your second point as well. Imagine if last year at San Luis if it was common knowledge that Topalov had pre-arranged a draw with Polgar late in the tournament before their game took place. |
|
| Jun-14-06 | | suenteus po 147: It is pre-arranged draws (and not GM draws) that make me question why both players sit down to play at all. |
|
| Jun-14-06 | | DUS: <acirce> Usually I agree with your comments but this time let me to say something. Below are the games of 2004. ELOs clearly are showing who was strong. Also, if there was a pre-arrangement, why then it was not 4:0? Then Armenia could have been in the clear second place... Or you think Georgians wanted still to see Russia in the second place? Finally, if Armenia was able to beat the very strong team of Israel (having GM Gelfand!) 3:1, why to be surprised if Armenia beats also Georgia 3.5:0.5?
