FIDE Chess.com Grand Swiss kicks off today. We got the draw of the 1st round and naturally we cannot deny ourselves the pleasure to predict the results.
Of course this tournament is personal, but nothing prohibits an assessment of the achievements of individual federations. This question is quite complicated, but even a long road begins with the first step. So.
It is reasonable to use the FIDE rating as an estimate of the strength of rivals at the moment. The simplest thing is to predict a victory for someone whose rating is higher. But in order not to simplify the problem at all, we accepted that if the rating differs by less than 100 points, then a tie is supposed. The color is ignored.
A total of 154 participants in the tournament and, accordingly, in the 1st round, 77 games are played. Draws are assumed to be 17. This will be our first prediction.
Evaluation of the performance of each participant will be determined by RELATIVE POINTS or "E-rating"
Evaluation of the performance of each "team" - representatives of one chess federation is carried out WITHOUT accounting for the games played among themselves.
Setting up a team or "federal rating" "F-rating" is carried out in such a way that the LEVEL (STRENGTH) indicator of the entire team (for example,% of points scored) and REPRESENTATION (for example, the number of participants from a given federation) have the same effect on the "F-rating)
