Starting from the sixth stage, the bonus will be taken into account. I will try to calculate it using two options – the old one and the new one (where the novice's strength is 1/3 and there is an increasing coefficient of 1.4). After that, the differences in all three systems will be more significant.
Why wasn't the bonus calculated before? Because comparing the strength of players in stages 3 and 5 is meaningless. Now, the comparison will be based on versions.

You have already proposed a clearer and more practical version of the formula I provided. Do you have any other comments or suggestions? I would prefer to continue our discussion; perhaps it will lead to further improvements to the system. And when everything is ready, it will be easier to convey the result to the public than to burden them with reasoning. For now, the written formula should be considered only as a starting point.
