Two Eras Of Chess
Re: Two Eras Of Chess
Personally, I would rather not use the ELO Rating System.
Instead, I seem to use more often a player's Win / Lose / Forfeited Games Data ; if that makes any sense ....
Actually, in most of my Live / over-the-board Tourneys, I prefer knowing which openings my opponents have been victorious in, versus those which seem to present any weaknesses, and then adjust my preparation accoedingly.
Say There RedKetChupLover ..... How Ya' Been Bud ....????
