"...when players lose, they may develop a strong conviction that their official rating underestimates their true playing strength."

I experience that illusion/delusion almost everytime I lose. I dismiss it, however. GNU analysis suggests, to me, that luck is a much larger factor than skill in determining the outcome of match play. By that, I mean, the great majority of wins go to the player with the 'luck advantage'.
