Yes, maybe you're weird that you are not modelled correctly or maybe I'm
weird that I am.

That's good, but what's really needed is a largish set of players's
matches with known ratings to be tested. My informal tests on my own
opponents came out quite good as I showed before. My working theory is
you're an anomaly :-)
If such human studies show my current formula is flawed I am sure such
(human) data can also be fitted in a similar fashion as I wrote on
http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~kvdoel/tmp/ratings, which would lead to an
adjustment of the current numbers in GNUBG's rating estimator.

PS I don't know what Mr. Zare has been arguing about my studies behind
my back on that closed private forum without the common courtesy of
informing me of such arguments, or what led him to label my studies as
"quite flawed". Mr. Zare's style of "publication" makes a factual
argument impossible. IMO this whole argument can only be settled by
experiment anyways, not by a-priory mathematical theory, no matter how
stylishly presented.
