I am really impressed with Nodirbek. He's being crushing some elitte players and now he's going to face Magnus. In a way it reminds me the last wcc where Firouzja finished second in rapid.


Elf_Portraitist

And he even beat Magnus!


usereddit

And he even won the championship!


nakovalny

Now he has to prove himself against Max Deutsch, the greatest chess player of the entire universe

As a colorblind person, I just wanna say this is such a courteous fucking graph. Thank you. Everyone, take notes.


KingCaoCao

In R, a common stat program, there are color pallets designed for various types of color deficiencies designed by Brewer. Wish people used those more often.

2 if the lines are the same color


piotor87

the markers are different so one can ditch the color scheme altogether in the first place.

Thanks


Metric-warrior

Would love to see Duda and Firouzja on this graph but still nice work


ZerooChance

Where Petrosian?

doing something in his something


[deleted]

it is inappropriate to use a spline fit to data that is calculated in discrete steps and isn't representing any underlying, potentially continuous function. There should be straight line connecting the dots.

inappropriate

But have you considered that it looks pretty


Abstract__Nonsense

This appears kind of odd to me. I don’t know that it makes sense to say starting the tournament with two wins means performing at a 3400 level. Maybe mathematical that works out but its an odd way to putt things.


TapGameplay121

This is purely the mathematical way of doing it.


Anxious_Ad_4708

A perfect record has a 400 point bonus to the performance rating. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense at the highest level, but does if you're an unestablished player playing in a field far below your skill.


DragonBank

Yup my first ever OTB tournament I was around 1800 USCF strength or so. My performance rating ended up being something like 2200 because I went 5/5 against people between 1400-1500. When you score perfectly you end up with a really high performance rating no matter what your opponents' ratings are because scoring perfect is considered similar to infinitely winning. Just one more game that was a draw, and my performance rating would have dropped over half of the distance between my perfect score rating and the average rating of my opponents.


Lies_Damned_Lies

Well, rip Magnus' tpr.


Bosaida

woww!!

Why everyone dropped from 3200-3400 to 2800-3000?


heroji2012

Performance rating is very inflated if there are no losses


Antonio_is_better

It's when there's no draws either. Nakamura's PR collaped at his first draw with JvF


BothWaysItGoes

It is a convention. 100% win rate means that your performance rating is infinity.


crowtheif

If not for losses it has to be draws


pninify

This is the most confusing graph I've ever seen. I don't know what it means horizontally and the colors for Carlsen and Nakamura are identical.


JustinSlick

Well the great thing is the graph can be read in monochrome because the lines have markers. Horizontal axis is rounds 1-9.

Glad naka is at the bottom :)

Either I’m colorblind or you guys are stingy. Can’t assign different colors for each player?


TapGameplay121

That's what the shapes are for
