Now that there have been 5 puzzle tests, can we expect a similar LMI Puzzle Ratings soon?

LMI Sudoku Ratings have now been updated after the Renban Group Sudokus.... A direct link to the ratings is also included on the main forum page through an icon at the top (next to Authors).

A total of 237 players (an increase of 31 players) from 38 countries (an increase of 6 countries) are represented in the current ratings.

Thomas Snyder, two time world champion has comfortably retained his number one spot (despite missing the Renban Groups)and Nikola has jumped to the second spot pushing Jason V Zuffranieri down to the third spot by just a single point margin.....really a tough fight. Chen Cen needs to put some more effort and wait till the next game to come back in the top three..........

Coming to the Indian participants.........No change in the top two Indian positions but Rohan slipped to overall 10th slot from his previous 9th while Rishi improved his rating and reached to the 7th from 8th position. Gaurav Korde has been dropped from the ratings as he consecutively missed the third test....and thus Jaipal joins Rishi and Rohan in the top three Indian positions. Both Rishi and Rohan need to work hard for coming in the elite top 5....

Do share your comments on the ratings here.

The rating is calculated based on a scientific algorithm (and very difficult to explain here), which uses multiple factors (e.g. scores, consistency, # of tests). The maximum possible rating is 1000 and the minimum is 0.


Best way to come up in the ratings is to keep on playing regularly (dont miss the tests) and try and do well........

It would be nice if you add points change (for ex. +16) in comparison with score from previous leaderboard.
And similar statistic for player position change :)

Just a proposition for the rating:

It would be interesting to indicate (perhaps with arrows next to the ranking) if the rank of a player is better, worse or equal compared to last ranking (ranking before last test).

Wasn't exactly aware there was a rating system. Guess doing a 100 min. test in 50 minutes isn't exactly good for that. At least I should be able to go up with the next test?

Akash: As Neeraj metioned, there is a currently an algorithm in place for ratings. And, we'll re-look at it periodically, to improve it further. The next review should happen around early 2011. So, if you do have any points/concerns, please share them here, so that we can discuss them while reviewing, and include any valid ones.

And, Congratulations for improving your rating by 160 points !!!

Both are valid points. This is very much a part of the plans, and you'll see this happen sooner than later.

Fortunately, the next puzzle test (FLIP) is for 50 mins duration only :)

I think your LMI sudoku rating should defintely improve with a reasonable performance in the next LMI sudoku test.

And, the LMI puzzle ratings will also be coming up soon.

50 minutes for a test is an exception.
Most Sudoku tests will be between 100 to 120 minutes (ideally 120 minutes)
Most puzzles tests will be between 80 to 120 minutes (ideally 100+ minutes)

it was a pleasant surprise to see my ratings increase by 160 points. wasnt actually expecting it to improve as much as it did. i guess 360 points is not bad for someone with just two monthly tests under his belt.

I like the idea of an arrow. Maybe a green arrow pointing up and a red arrow pointing down. Lets see what we can do.
Thanks for the idea.

And Thanks to Gotroch too, for initiating the concept :-)

Finally, the inaugural LMI Puzzle Ratings are up. You can also reach the ratings from the home page, by clicking on Puzzle under Ratings.

A total of 359 players from 40 countries are included in the inaugural LMI Puzzle rating list. Apart from India, the top five countries in terms of number of participating players are USA, Germany, Japan, Poland and UK. The LMI puzzle ratings will be updated next in mid-December 2010.

Its a neck and neck race for the No 1 spot between Thomas Snyder (motris) and Hideaki Jo (deu). Ulrich Voigt (uvo) is currently ranked third. The top 10 is dominated by the Germans and the Japanese, occupying 8 of the 10 places.

Amit Sowani, Rohan Rao and Rajesh Kumar are the top 3 Indians in the list, and the only ones in the Top 50.

Looks good. May be an explanation of what the arrows indicate?
It looks like a jump of 10+ ranks is indicated by Up arrow.

You are right. The arrows are largely self explanatory. As of now, we have used five arrows in three colours to indicate the changes in ranks, as below:

- The green arrow indicates that the player is on the up, and has made major gains (10+) in the ranks as compared to last ranking list.
- This arrow indicates that the player has made minor gains in ranks (1-9).
- The right blue arrows indicate that there is no change in the rank.
- This arrow indiates that the player has dropped 1-9 ranks.
- The red arrow indicates that the player has dropped 10+ ranks.

Thanks for explaining.
So there is no 'major' jump (in either direction) in top20.
But I would think that cpickerel and willwc cases are significant jumps.
The point i'm trying to make is a jump of 5 ranks in top20 or jump of 10 ranks in top50 or a jump of 20 ranks in top100 should be considered as major.
