How do BrainKing ratings (roughly) correspond to real-life playing strengths? How strong would be
(in BKR)
- a typical club player?
- the best player of a local club?
- a national champion?
- a world class player?
The previous posts seem to imply that a 2200+ BKR player would not need to be ashamed of him/herself in any level of a tournament. Is this correct?
I don't consider myself very strong player, typical club player if even that. Although my 8x8 rating is 2100ish and that puts me 4th in the rankings. To me this looks like there aren't many good players or they haven't played enough games to get their rating up to their level. I think we would need more established rankings and some more top players to make the BKR more comparable to real life. But most of the top players will probably avoid this site until the real rules are applied.
