I seem to have reached a plateau with Hamsters where new features and even bug fixes hardly contribute any elo to it.
This would bother me little if not for the fact that each and every test starts by feeding me the illusion of improvement, and only later falls to the same old stats.
A 700 games test tournament might go like this:
- games 0-100: 53% (ehi, not bad)
- games 101-200: 54% (great!)
- games 201-300: 54% (yo-hoo!... goes out to buy champagne!)
- games 301-400: 53% (just a little glitch!)
- games 401-500: 52% (some bad luck here...)
- games 501-600: 51% (you son of a...)
- games 601-700: 50% (nooooooooooooooo!!!)
So it's just my imagination or this happen to you too?!? One would think that 400 games already provide a good approximation, yet...
