Chess Improvement follows a Square Root Function!

I'm too lazy to do detective work. Did he fake his numbers?

@Linspiring Very interesting. Mine would be more of a greatest integer square root function, as tend to improve in bursts, but that is an unmistakable trend.

Get data from another 9999 people.

Get an average data.

Then get a graph with Standard deviation.

Then make formula with a reliable sample size.

Let me see what you get..

Why do I say like that?
Because there much variables in different sample sizes.

If you dont get picture( data) as a whole and do assumptions from one point of view is like '' someone assuming elephant is a spindle shape as he see the tails only".

Sounds like a good explanation to me.

try a logistic fit instead. after all, "trees don't grow to the sky".
