Why am I not in the rankings in the bullet?

And in the crosstable below our most recent game (link: http://en.lichess.org/ncU90vh5) you can see that at least he was willing to play against me sometimes. Many of those are KoTH, but there are some bullet games.

#49 Which is down for maintenance right now. ;-) But thanks for the hint.

#48 The video given is interesting. To quote hiimgosu after having played Singer_Marta: "closest match", "good match", "he´s crushing me".
And this guy should only be rated but not ranked? Seems a bit unfair to me, too.

#50 Ups, sorry, I have simply missed the second "_" in his handle. ;-)

Thanks Erindreki for the truth. Your comment proves that top 10 rating system is ridiculous. Because as I can see you are a strong 2465 player.

I would not go so far to say, that the list is "ridiculous". That´s way to harsh.
But what I try to point out in my comments is, that the rating system or to take RD (were the opponents rating is one of the input parameters for calculation) into consideration to design the top lists on it, can lead to the one or other exceptional case, were a feeling of injustice arises.

I'm not saying he's a weak player. I'm saying that his rating isn't certain enough, because apparently he plays people within 500 rating points of him once every 10 days.

He's evidently a strong player, but without playing people closer to his level, the level of certainty isn't there, as it is with people who do have a rank with their rating.

#55 nobody ever said, that you said, that Singer__Marta is a weak player. ;-)

We do not necessarily need to have the same opinion.
For you and others his rating isn´t certain enough to be ranked, for me and others his rating is certain enough to be ranked.
Finally glicko-2 and the developers are doing the job - and that is what counts. But it must be allowed to express small doubts.

Besides that I want to express, that I absolutely admire the work done here over the last years to make lichess a wonderful place to play chess!!!
I discovered lichess ~2 months ago after having played on ~10 servers in the last two decades. Right now I can´t imagine any reason to switch again. ;-)
Please keep going this way!

It is just a rating system that is failure. I am not talking about Glicko, but top 10 system detection.

I can prove this to you very simple:

Let's say at some moment Singer Marta is on 1st place, with rating 2700 and deviation = 105 (so rating is accurate).
Then he starts his long winning streak, where he wins hundreds games in a row losing only few.
After that performance system thinks that his rating is unclear (higher than his current rating) and deviation goes up.
After it reach above 110 limit, system removes him from top 10 list.
Isn't it just simply not logical and unfair? Being removed from top list because of a winning streak?

To talk constructively, I'd propose an idea of new system of champion determination - Seasonal Tournaments of top 50 players (contenders). Every 3 months best in each category simply determine who is best in a tournament between best rated 50 players. And then current champion defend his title in the match with the winner of that tournament.
Just an idea how to make things more fair.

#57 thumb up!

The rules are fair yet!

If someone has a rating devation greater or equal 110 he is not in the ranking list.
Same applies to all players without exception, so what is the problem?

Fact: No rating system can calculate accurate playing stength, if the rating gap between opponents is always (or mostly) to big!
Simple example: Player A wins always against Player B (Player B is an absolute beginner). You can not know the real playing strength of Player A. You know only Player A is much better than Player B, but you can not measure absolute playing strength of Player A. (Player A could be a good player or a very good Player or a GM)

Just play on some games with opponents about your own playing strength and rating devation will decrease soon.
Welcome back to ranking list.
