60,000 down, 10,000 to go!!
60,000 done at CTS, 10,000 to go. If I should stop at 70,000, that is.
But since things are going very well at CTS, I want to continue.
I reached a new all time high of 1618.
There is continuous growth.

why stop while there are problems to be mastered, right? :)
ReplyDeletebtw, I've wondered about this for some time: how do you calculate your average rating?
Worm,
ReplyDeleteit's a conservative estimation. I take my max and min rating within a week, take the middle and round off downwards. Rtg max=1618; Rtg min=1580; Rtg mid=1599; Estimated rtg avg=1590.
Congrats. Amazing work.
ReplyDeleteWow. You have been the second most active CTS user of the world for quite a time. Nice rating, too. Guess it will not be easy to become number one in frequency if clyk continues to be the top freak of CTS. I look forward to see how this will translate to your OTB performance. Any tournament plans in the near future?
ReplyDeleteMouse,
ReplyDeleteit is still vacation time here. The first rated games will be in october. Due to the silly updates of the ratinglist in Holland, it will not be before may 1, 2007 that I will know the official new rating. But I will keep you informed about the results of my games.
For now I try to gain as much as possible at CTS before october.
i repsectfully need to say there that is impossible to compare the 92,000 student 'C', and senior student-teacher Tempo at 60,000. one has a rating that is nearly unchanged, and the other growing. one a rather 'hasty' 63%, another at a concerted and strategically balanced 80.3%.. awesome. congrats. yes, after hiking all day, i came in late and did some CTS and at the end noticed your 60k. you lead the way to all of us!
ReplyDeletei don't mean this to be unkind, but the honest truth is, is that nearly a monkey can type 90,000 characters and get a word sounding like Shakespeare in two years of hitting keys. 63%? to what use???? no.
i am only a few days from 84.0%, currently 83.9053. my approach relates to yours, just a different angle. i will hit 85.00% 25,000 by 31dec, and most days get 12f/100 = 88%. i need 8100 tries at 87.284% and i will be there.
you have been more than clear in articulating how % does not concern you, but fine all the same. :)
Space,
ReplyDeleteRatings are processed by finished tournaments. Since two regional tournaments I'm playing last 7 and 5 months starting respectively in october and november, and the ratings of finished tournaments are processed only 4 times a year, I can agree with you. How slow!
It's correct, I have never used the word "Holland" before in my blog. The reason for that is that I had a low esteem of the geographical knowledge of American tourists, who tend to "do Europe" in one week or so.
I remember very well an American lady, who poked her head out of the train in Amsterdam and asked me "is this Bruxelles?".
To avoid confusion I didn't use it. But since you give the impression it is not an un unknown name in the US, I will start to use it.
If we Hollanders speak about "Holland" we are in 98% of the cases talking about "The Netherlands" and not about the region.

ReplyDeleteyou are the one that i am trying to catch. :). but i cannot. still a nice idea. great to see you here. i had a head injury ten days ago, so had to really cool my jets, and just getting back to my 100+ a day again. i am plan on getting to 20,000 by 15 sept, and 30,000 by 31dec, but mostly focused on % success so, you sir, are the big dog for me.
thank you for good comments at CTS and when appropriate, previous kind support GREATLY APPRECIATED.
warmly, david
