Mighty Lenny's Ranking??
Sort:
what is the lowest ranking on chess.com right now?
But please help out a professional statistician who is somewhat bewildered by negative percentiles!
That's why I love Chess.com members! Always looking out for bugs, even small ones. :)
I've got this fixed now. The problem for those that care to hear is that we were caching our total player counts for 1 day at a time, so when this script ran, the total player count in the system was old, but the rank was accurate, so Lenny's rank was greater than the total cached player count, putting him in the negative. :)
I've done a # of fixes, made sure percentiles can't be negative, make sure we don't use the cache value when running this script, made sure the total player count we show on the stats page is the count at the time the script ran to calculate your rank. Thanks!
No problems, Jay!
I need to position myself for the Most Bugs Reported Trophy
well I wonder what it was like to be rated in the negatives, but since it has been fixed I suppose only Lenny can tell us
Yeah, some people have weird motives in life. Lenny intentionally loses games on Chess.com, but if that's what makes him happy...I guess we won't stop him.
it s not intentional, he is trying to improve.

that's plainly intentional losing.
what one may call intentionally losing another may call an daring queen sacrifice that was close to working. the king march in the begining was inspired and courageous...a few slips by white and black could have completed his routing and won. brilliantly played by both sides.
