November 2006

Another month has gone by and another group of playChess notables step into the foreground for recognition. hal1958 is still working on tournament win 100, and the founder, Sixty4, has become active on the rankings list and joins the group who have been here the longest. A note of clarification: you may think people are missing from this list. They may be, because I begin from the rankings list. The criterion which causes people to jump on and off the list is "they finished one or more rated games of that league within the last three months". So people are constantly coming and going.

Highest Winning Percentage

What's special about these folks? They have the highest percentage of games won. I have imposed a minimum number of games played in this category, in order that those who have played just a few games, and whose winning percentages are not therefore distorted. The minimum games chosen is 70, so that those eligible in this category are the top 75% in games played.

  luciano59 ( 83.52%, 353 games, class M),  ombre ( 82.56%, 172 games, class M),  PamperedPawn ( 81.08%, 333 games, class M),  Azimut ( 80.68%, 88 games, class M),  dynachess ( 78.57%, 84 games, class M).
