Life In 19x19

I am posting the updates because it seems to be the only way to know what is the high point achieved by a certain player. I am curious to know even if you are not.
If that were the case, then wouldn't it have been better to open a thread dedicated to the highest Elo rating, regardless of who has ...

In all seriousness, the constant stream of updates on every tiny increase in Shin's Elo rating is a bit much.

I mean it's nice his Elo is scaling new incremental heights after each won game, but do we need an update on it every time it happens? Do we need our computers to announce the time when ...

From probability point of view, for someone who's constantly achieving record Elo ratings, Shin should have won a few more international majors than he actually has, which is precisely zero.

He needs to start winning a few soon. Elo numbers are nice, really nice, but...

P.S. Asian TV Cup and ...

He won asian tv cup(2019 edition), and GC Caltex Cup(2018 edition).

From probability point of view, if we have 16 players knockout tournament with 1 game matches, if field is equally strong (lets assume same probability of win with either colour), chance of win is only 6,25%. If one of player is ...

But what I find telling is that in all the CJK countries the pro organisations have a remarkably good (?perfect) record in predicting which kids will be the future stars, even many years before they make the grade (we can exclude the diplomatic diplomas given to westerners, of course). On that ...

I believe players are initially guessed to have a rating of 3000

In a very rare occasion, Remi Coulom finally come out and defend his ranking methodology.

"WHR does not really give a start rating to players. That's the big advantage of the WHR approach over incremental algorithms such Taeil Bai ...

Anyway, he's sitting at world ranked no.3 right now and I'll watch this ranking happily all day cause it might change (for worse) after tomorrow's result comes.

One more interesting, Cho Chikun was the commentator in yesterday so I'm wondering that he's the commentator for all big events because ...

Sina analysis seems happy that Korean pro didn't make into semi final.

I really cheer Iyama because he's the solid proof that Japan doesn't fall ...

In the past year, looking at Dr. Bae Taeil's rankings, Iyama has moved from 17th to 31st, but other Japanese players have moved up. Last april, none of them were in the top 100, but now we have 68th (Kono Rin), 75th (Yamashita Keigo), 79th (Ichiriki Ryo). Excluding Iyama, these results are somewhat ...

Eight games against Japanese players... tsk tsk...

10 consecutive wins against whom? Domestic Japanese competition?

How does he love being in the spotlight? What evidence or examples do you have in backing up this assertion of yours?

Finding evidence to back up subjective claim is harder than objective claim

A lot of Chinese news have headline like 'Are there any 'human' that can defeat Ke Jie now?' or something like that from Google translate. But since Ke Jie also love being in the spotlight I think this is the win-win situation.

Care to explain what you meant by "Ke Jie also love being in the ...

LOL!

AlphaGo will do to Iyama what the atomic bombs did to... But seriously, the ...

This is absurd. First they claim AG can't play handicap games then they say it's 3 stones above AG Lee. Why didn't they do a handicap match with Ke Jie then?
For example since Ke lost a game the next game AG should give him 2 stones.
I haven't seen DeepMind claim AlphaGo can't play handicap games ...
