    My explanation as a PhD candidate in Physics:
    The Glicko system is based on certain mathematical assumptions. These, first of all will only be approximately satisfied with actual human players. For example, a 50 game winning streak against an equally rated opponent may be possible if the opponent is drunk.
    Secondly, the model‘s predictive power, in terms of predicting probabilities, may only be valid for approximately equally rated opponents, say +- 200 points. If there is a large rating difference, for example 1000 points, the probabilities you calculate may not at all match with the actual probabilities.
    In a essence, it is just a mathematical model, which is unable to be accurate under all circumstances due to the complexity of human beings. Mathematics is mathematics, but if you apply it to humans it’s power will be limited. Same with mathematical models in physics, all of them have their limitations and you can not expect to always get the right probabilities due to the complexity of the system.
    Due to these reasons, I would be very careful to draw premature conclusions about cheating.

      @@VBKramnik Because the games are not independent events as the model assumes. Hikaru is playing opponents specifically chosen for these kinds of streaks because it's good for stream. Nobody else is playing a lot lower rated players in long matches. If Magnus had an incentive to play for as much streaks as possible, he would absolutely be able to do similar streaks as Hikaru.
      And you don't have to take my word for it. The author of the mode who you refer to even brings it up at the end.
      This is from the thread:
      "As you can see, there are many examples of a player reaching a streak in reality, but the model thinks this streak has a low probability of happening. I believe there are several factors at play here, most importantly the IID assumption. If two players play many games in a row then it's unlikely that these are truly independent events. They may play the same opening many times and get into similar positions. If one of them is better at navigating these specific positions then this may lead to more streakiness than an IID model can explain. There are many other reasons why consecutive games may not be independent. Another shortcoming of my model is the formula used to compute W/D/L probabilities from rating difference. I think a better way to do this is to fit an actual statistical model to real data, to estimate how rating translates into probabilities."
      It's an interesting statistic, but it doesn't prove anything. Even the author clearly states that this doesn't prove any cheating.

    I watch Hikaru and have often seen him actively choose opponents based off of how "good" they are. For example he can play one game against someone and afterwards he says "he's too good", and then starts searching for some other opponent. I guess he is actively searching for weak high rated players.
    I don't know if this is something that all the players in the list do, but if not, it could be something that makes Hikaru stand out in statistics like these.

      It's not so easy to find a player in the tilt with such frequency. I don't believe that Hikaru's abilities here are very special. But what I do believe is that Hikaru's opponents just intentionally lose to him. Such an anomalous amount of streaks cannot be achieved just by evaluation bar or something like that. It's simply negotiation between players, which is also not fair, of course, but it's another type of cheating after all.

    Suppose Hikaru plays 74 independent games. If the probability he wins one game is p, then the probability he wins exactly 72 is (74*73/2*1)*p^72*(1-p)^2. If you let p=31/32, then you get a probability of 0.268 (i.e., 26.8% @2:45). The question is whether you believe p=31/32 is possible. An ELO spread of 600 would allow for it.

    @ahar010 2 місяці тому +4

    I think there's something wierd with the stats on Hikaru. for the 10 games streaks at 52 to be within 93% likely. You only get a chance at a 10 games streak when your last game was a loss. If I assume he lost maybe 10% of games??? that would be 217 oppourtunities and he converts 52 (25% ish) of them to 10+ streaks you say 92% likely. But then looking at the 25 game streaks. You first need to have had a 10 game streak (then win 15 more games). He has had 52 oppurtunities and converts 17 of them (32% ish) and suddenly the likelyhood is down to 0.1%?
    The likelyhood of winning 10 games after a loss and winning 15 games after a 10 game streak shouldn't be so different. It looks like a mistake in the analysis potentially.
    Anyone know how many losses in this period? to give a better estimate than my 10%?

      @@VBKramnik OK, I've misspoken. But if you replace the word loss with loss or draw, doesn't the same question hold true? Unless his loss/draw is alot over 10%.
      It's about the coversion rate of 10+ streaks to 25+ streaks, of whatever kind of streak you are measuring.
      31% of 10+ win streaks converted to 25+
      40% of 10+ unbeaten streaks converted to 25+
      33% of 10+ overperfrom streaks converted to 25+
      It would be interesting to see his conversion rate from a chance to start a streak to getting a 10+ streak.
      I'm note saying this exonerates him from cheating at all, but it might provide more context in which way. Or if his conversion rate from 0 streak to 10+ streak is in roughly the same area 30-40% then why would there be such a high difference in the likelihood of the 25+ streaks compared to the 10+
      Do you have the number of times he drew or lost total from the data series? If you were to estimate would 10% be too high or low?

    Mr Kramnik, I support your efforts at spotlighting the real problems of online cheating.
    However, tilt/psychological factors of online chess can't be brushed aside simply because there are a lack of studies on the impact of these factors. Never before could a random 2300 even play 1 game against a top-5 GM. The pressure on said 2300 vs Hikaru would not be pre baked into 2300's elo. It seems clear that the models are incomplete bc the assumptions are incomplete, therefore the probabilities don't carry a ton of weight.
    Certainly not enough to ban. Surveillance? Prove it again publicly? Sure, maybe. Open to (non-costly) ideas there based on existing technology.

  • @TheNiczal

    For Hikarus overperformances, the 3 low probalities factors are in reality the same factor., winning streak is an unbeaten streak and an overperformance streak. So in general, from the 25 unbeaten streaks, 21 were overperformance streaks and of those 17 were winning streaks. If the rest of statistical factors don't rise questions. Then the search needs to be narrowed to the 17 winning streaks. Factors to see, as mentioned in the video, long streaks of games against opponents that have lower performances than their ratings, picking opponents to get the streak, analyse the centipawns loss for Hikaru play and opponents play.
    Another interesting factor that I wish was talked about is the duality between the winning streaks and the unbeatten streaks. And it makes sense, it all comes to drawing percentage. A player that makes more draws, has les probability of winning streaks, but higher probability of unbeaten streaks. a player (like Alireza) that always plays for the win, then will have more winning streaks than its rating, but less unbeaten streaks as well. The rating system makes a big average of that and they even out.

    Rating systems don't have great predictive accuracy...Why are you taking the ratings as reasonable assumptions for your statistical model? ELO is kinda a stochastic process sort of estimator - it's not meant to give an exact probability of winning. If you really wanted to do this you'd need to include the uncertainty in the predictive accuracy of the rating system. It's not impossible - you could set up a STAN program to do it but it's hard. Until you do that these "probabilities" you give are pretty meaningless.

    The statistics seem to indicate not cheating, but an intentional blending of ratings. Hikaru's statistics are anomalous only for streaks of 25 games. But if Nakamura's streaks always involve different people, there is no other way to explain it besides cheating. This is quite convincing, as is the method of checking by simulation.

      But to actually add something meaningful to this discussion, I would refer to this mathematician's own admission, and correct assumption from an academic open-minded point of view, that his model could be flawed. In research, the investigator's job is not to back up their hypothesis with what data they can find, this mindset can lead to unintentional/unconscious cherry picking of data/numbers. Instead, they should be their own harshest critic, so that they can create a robust research design and recognize the possible limitations of their design. I'm not sure if we can agree on this, but it would be a good point to find common ground.

      Now I don't know what extraneous variables you and your team may or may not have considered, so I'd like to offer a few. Some you may have already briefly considered, but not intuitively agree that they affect the study. I will try to convey why I think they should be seriously considered.
      A little precursor, these variables matter because while numbers are a very useful way to understand the world in a seemingly perfect way, they are only as good as the variables we can account for, as the world and it's systems are rarely as perfect as the numbers we use to model them. This is why weather forecasts are seldom completely accurate. I argue that the online chess ecosystem is one such system.

    • @andresv.8880
      @andresv.8880 2 місяці тому +2

      I want to present these variables in three sections, that I think capture them pretty well.
      1. Farming (and why rating may not be the full story)
      Online blitz ratings are much more volatile than fide ratings, even fide blitz, as such many players experience highs and lows of 150-250 points or more. You might argue that this itself is troubling, and we can discuss further if so, but I see it as perfectly reasonable.
      Choosing the right opponents to farm matters, and this is not necessarily reflected in their objective rating. While we can in theory say that all 2900's should all be objectively equal in strength, I think this over generalisation fails to capture the fact that 2900's can have their own strengths and weaknesses. Some have really strong/solid openings, some may thrive in positional/tactical positions, and some may love to play endgames. Some may be exceptionally good/focused on looking for so called cheap traps and tricks, and some may be really good at flagging their opponents in completely drawn positions. Many may have terrible nerves and get really nervous only when playing renowned players. Of course most are a varying combination of all these things. 'I argue that two players of equal rating are not going to play as well in any given position/situation, in other words, they are not always actually of equal strength'. This is important because Hikaru, playing online for as long as he has, knows which players of a certain rating are "easier" to beat than others of the "same" strength, and knows how to exploit their weaknesses. This can even change for the same player on a different day as evidenced by the fluctuations in rating that many, if not most, online players experience. I have seen Hikaru avoid certain players when farming, not because he thinks they are cheating, but because he thinks they are a bad pairing for him to trick/squeeze/flag. Sometimes a player he chooses to farm one day will play better another day, and he simply chooses not to play them at that moment. He often plays players when they are near their "peak" rating (if he has determined that they are vulnerable, ie not playing their best), to take as many points as possible, but a player's peak rating is not indicative of their "true"/average rating/strength.
      TLDR:
      /Ratings don't necessarily capture playing styles that can be exploited. (See Hikaru Nakamura vs Magnus Carlsen lifetime Classical score 1-14 Carlsen)
      /Ratings don't necessarily present the true playing strength of an opponent who fluctuates 250 points. (See any online player, check their peak and their average rating)
      /Ratings don't necessarily reflect the mental fortitude of a player under pressure. (See the performance of top players in the Candidates, so I hear)
      2. Positions and time
      I think we can easily agree that bullet results are much more volatile than blitz, and blitz more so than rapid, and rapid more so than Classical. The point is, results become more volatile as time decreases, as in Classical where less time becomes more like blitz and sillier mistakes can be made. This is the ideal condition for the best (one of?) 1+0 online bullet chess player to capitalize on his opponents weaknesses. It's no coincidence that Hikaru exclusively plays 3+0 blitz casually online. As time dwindles down, I would argue that his superior bullet skill over that of his opponents become a bigger factor so that these much more volatile positions can often go his way. I argue this difference in strength under time pressure is not already reflected in the opponent's blitz rating, as players handle their time differently throughout the entire game against similarly rated opposition. In these streaks and over performances, we see only what the numbers say, that he won and against what player, but not the context of the story. Not the many positions that he barely scraped a win by in completely lost positions due to his opponents time pressure. As an example, we can see in sports sometimes, that we say the results don't tell the whole story. In soccer, a team could have won 3-0, and from the result we could conclude that one team was much better, but sometimes one team had many opportunities, played well and put pressure, but the final execution simply didn't go their way. MVL and Nakamura played in one such match. In an SCC, MVL came close many times to beating Nakamura, but in the end some of those games simply didn't go his way in time scrambles, and the end result showed a lopsided dominating result for Nakamura.
      TLDR:
      /Simply looking at the results of the games may not be the best way to model the probabilities of volatile results where one player uses the chaos to their advantage.
      3. Psychology
      I already mentioned that some players crack under pressure, be it the pressure of the moment or the pressure on the clock, and this is not necessarily reflected in rating. But this is online blitz, where games come one after another and mood swings can significantly alter the level of play of a player. One bad game, depending on the person, can ruin their mood and significantly lower their ability. This happens to Hikaru, and he sometimes simply decides to take a break, but lower rated players will continue to play while tilted, because they like the opportunity of playing a top player. This tilting can compound, and while a player may be rated 2900+, they could easily play at a level of

Либо с реальностью что-то не так, либо с симуляцией ) Лично мне метод проверки кажется достаточно убедительным и понятным.
