jpeak948 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Hi everyone! First of all, my english is not good so be patient. Recently, someone have been me talked about BBO skill. I didnt know that. I play Bridge since october 2013 only but I consider with insurance that I am better than a lot of players who definite your skill to advanced and more. I made good scores last month (I think) exept last week who have been very hard. But I dont know whats is going on. My score went down dramaticly. Im not able to correct the situation. Is it a bad break? Was it my fault or my p were too weak? I dont believe I play so bad. In fact, im serious...in bridge club of my area I success very good. Only 15 months experience but very good understanding of bridge. My question is...is it simply hasard? I cant believe it. Major time I made good calls. According BBO skill, my skill is intermediate ++ just near advanced (1600+) but Ive got better results comparativly to some advanced players I knew. Who know BBO skill? Is it a good reference? My score is -0.01???? Thats impossible last month .55! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zelandakh Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 It has not updated for a long time (>6 months I believe) so your observation about grading going down is obviously false. BBO Skill has you with 2790 hands and an average of -0.01. Your current BBO hand records are for 898 hands at an average of +0.53 (plus 5 MP hands at 40.67%). Assuming you are playing against normal (non-expert) opps this would put you square in the intermediate realm, although BBO policy is that you should self-rate based on tournament (ie mostly live play) results. It is true that there are plenty of weaker players that self-rate higher than their real skill level. So what? Do you want to be another? A "good understanding of bridge" is relative. Compared to Mrs Guggenheim I probably rate to have such an understanding. On the other hand, in comparison with PhantomSac you might call me a complete novice. In other words, you might find in a few years time that the understanding you have now is not so complete as you think it is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
