playBunny (and others): The problems with the BKR system are not limited to Backgammon ... that someone can play 4 games and have a rating of over 2600 is ridiculus ... even if they play against top opponents (which in a number of types of games they haven't).

A while back you gave a formula which I think would work excellently ... takes into account the relative abilities of both players and requires someone to work their way to the top if they are good enough. If it takes 200 or 300 games to get near the top then so be it, at leat then it is a true reflection on concerted effort, not an anomily in the system.

I play here for fun but I also play to have interesting hard competative games, ... I am, indeed, competative perosn by nature. I do not mind losing where I am soundly beaten, but I also like to have my abilities (or lack thereof) recognised and the BKR is one way to do that.

I think the current system stinks and has me, for one, now very disallusioned.
