In Response To: More swiss tournaments, best in three shorter matches and clocks (Jason Lee)

Well, suppose you just programmed identical copies of gnubg to play against itself and watched how the ratings fluctuated. Let's say a mixture of 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15 pointers which are typical tournamnet match lengths. The true average skill difference is 0. What would be the average ratings difference though between randomly chosen opponents in the long run? Someone better than I with programming could set this up in about an hour I think. I suspect something very similar has already been done in fact.
