Chess Stuff
|
As I worked with various chess groups, I found a need to have a tool to easily implement ratings among the members of the groups. Ratings help establish a strength hierarchy, which is useful when organizing instruction. Also, children respond well to the instant gratification of seeing their ratings change as they play each game and mimicks groups like the USCF and FIDE. The USCF sanctioned software, "Think Like a King," is the only other software that I was able to find through an Internet search, which helps implement Club Ratings. "Think Like a King," implements a Harkness style system. The ELO Rater allows the group leader to choose a Harkness System or a USCF style system. |
