In Response To: "Easy" improvement to PR calculations (Henrik Bukkjaer)

Thanks for the clarification. My objection is not valid.

If this ever gets implemented and used in a PR tournament where you win by playing with a lower PR then there will problably be several more little tricks to use and of course I still think variance reduced results would be better. Where it may be useful is comparing performance of many players in a tournemant with only good players.

"- Get rid of the (indirect) bias towards agressive over conservative play, which hurts adjusting to weaker players more than it should. (*3)"

If one is consciously adjusting to weaker play then the entire concept of using PR to compare different players who were not playing each other is inherently unsound.
