You are right. My point was that here we have only 1 fixed rating, which is very low, and all the higher levels depends on the levels just below them. So I wondered if the underestimate was propagating and cumulating, making the top, as you add doublings, more and more far from the "real" values. It is why I wondered about the curve if we made "virtual games" between players with fixed "linear" ratings, to see what the current method would predict (note that all players are being rated at the same time). It was just an hypothesis, it may be totally irrelevant :) Sylvain
