German 3 Dan Inflation
You, too, can call yourself 3 dan! Who cares if you're not actually that strong? (Page under construction) Less than 2200: 15 2200-2249: 16 2250-2299: 31 2300-2349: 14 2350-2399: 4 2400 and up: 1 Lowest: 2096 Are these EGF percentile ratings of a sampling of German "3 dan"s, or something? Tristan: While I can see your point, MGoetze, don't you agree that it is a little bit cheeky for an 11 kyu to be complaining about "weak" 3 dans? AlainWettach: Even at Dan level, the EGF ratings do not necessarily reflect the real playing strength of the players. This is certainly caused by the limited number of computed results. I just had a look at the German list and some of the "weak" 3 dans have a very limited number of tournaments computed. For some of the players, the last results are one or two years old. This is the problem of every rating system: if you don't have enough data, it can only be approximative. This is a copy of the living page "German 3 Dan Inflation" at Sensei's Library. ![]() |
