HalfPawn: So you are saying 32 wins and 5 losses should be rated higher than someone with 161 wins and 0 losses?

It depends on the definition of the rating system and the ratings the opponents had. Period!
So yes it is possible and very logical that someone with even 876 wins and no loses can have lower rating than someone with 18 wins and 5 loses....

Also we have 2 facts here:
Smirf Engine was rated higher than GrimReaper with the Brainking formula while with the formula it is used on the page you gave, it is rated lower....
This is indisputable!

If that is math that makes sense, no wonder Smirfengine lost to ChessV!

This is completely irrelevant as far as i can see.....!

Prove to me the BK system make sense based on what I have just shown you.

I highly disagree with how the Brainking system works, but that doesn't mean your use of the word "LOOK" was correct.... You've put the subjective factor of a human's opinion/instinct about if a list makes more sense than another, and that is what i criticize here.....
