For Remi's WHR ratings on goratings.org, it's the standard Elo formula e.g. http://www.bobnewell.net/nucleus/bnewell.php?itemid=279. I don't know if the Chinese pro ratings or the Korean Park Taeil or mamumamu's follow that too.

I couldn't find a reliable source for the chess a factor, but Wikipedia suggests 400. But EGD uses around 70 at a high level. So a 400 point rating difference in chess has equivalent win probability as 70 in go (pretend no draws are possible). So perhaps you probabilities should be much more extreme. e.g. rating gap of 70 to imply 25:75 chances

but the chess and go ratings have different numbers for their parameters.

I couldn't find a explicit reference to any value of a factor in the Remi Coulom paper, unless the rescaled "natural rating" is relevant.

Chang Hao was saying how different this is to the disaster of 1993 in the related 5 player 3 country, team win and continue tournament, where China had no wins, Nie was knocked out by Yoda. From then, this was so disappointing in contrast to the victories in the China-Japan supergo, with progress of the youngsters too slow, that this shock led to a big push in go. even so, Korea has dominated for nearly 30 years until about 2013 Tang Weixing was expressing worry before the LG semi-final that in each game the Korean seems to have a stronger chance on paper, but with China dominating 6-2 in the quarter final, having an all Korean final would be hard to accept: normal 3 years ago, but not these days. Then he says that maybe it would be a good thing though, let the Koreans win some. ... but Park and Shin were both knocked out. Uberdude: how do you calculate winning probability for go elo ratings?

If Japan win, nobody will question about Iyama Yuta's world ranking for at least ten years.

The Chinese rating system is described here http://baike.baidu.com/view/8060410.htm(in Chinese) with standard Elo probabilities shown in the table included. Mamumamu uses glicko-2 instead of elo so has a completely different scale.

Am I misreading? Because that seems high.

The GoR system (EGD) is not universal to go, it is just one possible implementation of the system. Original Elo uses 1 / 1 + 10^(D/400) whereas GoR in its higher ranks uses 1 / 1 + e^(D/70) (but uses higher numbers than 70 at lower ranks). The fact that Elo uses 10 as a base while Gor uses e means that in you cannot compare the 400 and 70 factors directly. In practice, the difference is smaller, and using e as a base, chess rating effectively use 173.3 (i.e. 10^(D/400) = e^(D/173.3). Remi's implementation, AFAIK, uses the original simpler Elo rating without the extra variable that GoR introduces.

Yes, for sure. Now the #1 from both countries have equal chance to win the tournament and make history.

Post subject:	Re: 18th Nongshim cup
I've created a git repo with code to calculate winning chances in win and continue tournaments (https://github.com/hyperpape/win-and-continue/). Prior to the start of this year's Nongshim, Korea was the slight favorite. But after Fan Tingyu's 7 game winning streak, the odds are now Japan: 2.5% Korea: 6% China: 91.5% One question I'm curious about: are there any four team win and continue tournaments? I can't find any linked from Sensei's or Mr Kin's site. (For anyone who follows the group on Facebook, sorry for the duplicate post).

Iyama lost to Park by resignation. Japan is now eliminated.

Today Fan Yunruo 5d beat Park Junghwan by 1.5 points, winning the Nongshim cup for China with 3 players spare. China has such a depth of world-class players: when the two Fan's were selected for the Chinese Nongshim Cup team apparently there negatives mutterings in Chinese forums about if they were good enough (leaving behind higher rated players like Zhou Ruiyang, Shi Yue, Mi Yuting, Chen Yaoye) but they won the whole tournament without Tuo Jiaxi, Ke Jie or Lian Xiao needing to turn up!
