Agreed the bumps do emerge after 1300, but they really bloom into "spikes" with patterned shape above 1500.
I think I confused 2000 with 1500. I don't know why I only remember 2000. Maybe because that would be a psychological test of my priorities. Do I want to fixate on rating? A tiny fraction of me would see a hundredth as an accomplishment. Although rationally, nonsense, not just for the real value that rating is, but for being a compressed average of many skills probably in unequal development. so I would better focus on those and find ways to measure them, puzzles maybe (but they only target tactics, not position evaluation, which does affect which tactics to favor..)
so finally, ok, rating. last resort measure. that which others see, and most importantly, other interesting future pairings might be based upon.
Edit: is it a real value? We see integers, but at some point in glickos isn't there some interaction with the variance (should have said SD or deviation, but messing with chess terminology makes me smile, maybe my inner troll). my point 1999 or 2000 what's the diff.
