True. Another effect that might appear is if part of the players are developing in skill and at the same time switching to stronger opponents. Or perhaps some are better in changing their style (risk level) according to opponent strength. Maybe CGOS data would be the best: lots of games between a limited number of stable players.
"Best" for proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that intransitivity exists in game playing? yes. "Best" but not necessarily best for proving that intransitivity exists in ways that matter to most users of ELO-type systems? no. cheers stuart
