FIDE’s New Infinitely Rich Brokelo Rating System
I decided to have a discussion with ChatGPT-4 on this. Sit back and enjoy the ride!
I have a hypothetical for you. Let us suppose we have two 1400’s playing a rated game with these new rules. One is a true 1400, but the other is really rated 1000. Being 400 points higher means the true 1400 will win most of the time. If these two players keep playing with let’s say a ten percent loss rate for the stronger player. How long will it take in terms of how many games played for the true 1400 to reach 2000 rating? Bear in mind also the 400 point rule that caps the gain and loss at a certain amount.

To estimate how long it would take for a true 1400-rated player to reach a 2000 rating by playing against an opponent who is effectively rated 1000, but officially rated at 1400 due to the new FIDE rules, we need to consider a few factors:
- Rating Gain/Loss per Game: The number of rating points gained or lost in a game depends on the difference in rating between the players and the game’s outcome. Under the Elo rating system, when the rating difference is 400 points or more, the higher-rated player gains fewer points for a win and loses more points for a loss. Since the 400-point rule caps the difference, the system treats these games as if the difference is…
