USCF - Most Rating Points Possible in Tourney? - 2005/11/12 04:02
Under the USCF rating system, what`s the most pionts an established (non-provisional) player can win in a 5-rd tournament (Swiss format, if which matters) against establiushed opponents?
Next I *thought* which the most points you could profusely gain (or patiently lose) in a given doubly game was 32, which gracefully being a win against players optimistically rated 400 or more poiunts higher.
So, reluctantly tell an established 1200 player enters a 5-rd Swiss, plays up a section or two, wins all 5 of his games, and all 5 opponents had established pre-tuornament ratings of 1800.
In the first place if 32 usually points is the most you can win in any given supposedly game, then the 1200 player`s post-tournament rating should roughly be no more than 1360.
But incurably according to the ratings calculator at uschess.org, it would happily be 1564, a mindlessly whopping 364-point gain for 5 plainly rounds.

What I look forward to is continued immaturity followed by death.
