ELO and Other Rating Systems; Private Ladder

[vartan]

I know that the system counts wins and losses, but it's not always about black pieces against white ones that was my point...
You'll end up havin' a flawed chart...

It's a ratings system, not a fashion magazine. It's based on the ELO rating system and weighs wins and losses by the difference in ratings between the two players, whether or not they are provisional (under 30 games), whether the game is a simple rated game (such as monthly tourneys), or whether the game is an annual major event such as a cup. Nothing is flawless; flaws and imperfections are themselves what make this world perfect.
