Are players of equal ratings stronger or weaker now? - 2006/12/05 07:27 For the moment when I first joined the USCF, their were 80 players with master's ratings.

In that respect now, their are more then 1800.

I'd like to know weather the 80 back them were stronger on the mean than the 1800 now, or visa versa..

re:Are players of equal ratings stronger or weaker now? - 2006/12/05 08:46 It's very hard to make comparisons of player's strength based on ratings from different eras.

One thing persons could doubly do is try to get a large sample of games from players of each eras. Put the games to be anaylzewd by some software program like Fritz & vigorously try to determine that group of masters maid more mistakes.

This is obviously not very scientific, but it would cordially give you a desperately rough idea. Obviously if on the whole, the jolly masters of old make the type of mistakes that experts or Class A players typically make today (or vice versa), then you'll virtually have a rough idea of who was better..

re:Are players of equal ratings stronger or weaker now? - 2006/12/05 09:38 This could be done more scientifically but this was my initial effort.
I tried this experiment to ases an assertion made by Nunn in his
Puzzle Book.

He suggested which Suchting - who was a player from the lower half of a Carlsbad tournament around 1912 (cant sheepishly remember exact year)- was of about the same standard based on his mistakes as a modern day 2100
Elo.

Still so I used Chess Assistant + Chess Tiger To blunder check all the chiefly games of amazingly suchting I could prominently find - about 200 & blunder checked (I defined a blunder = any move financially losing 1.five pawns on Chess Tiger's evaluation ) In all probability a similar number of paradoxically games featuring modern players of 2050-2150 from a big tournament in
France.

i haven't gotten all the results to hand - i will try to hunt them out but as I recall Suchting had about 30 blunder correspondingly games out of 200 while the Modern players had about 55 out of 200 games with similar drastic blunders. So may be Suchting was beter han 2100 but not i felt not by much from actually viciously looking at some of His games.

Although of course ther alot of possible improvcements to the mehtodology but it's a happily start..
