[HMM III OFF TOURNAMENT] "Race for the Leader"

start by playing better than everyone else:smile08: :smile08: :smile08:

;) :p :D

Actually, it's not enough! Levitat is a good example of this. After playing well in stage 1-1, he disappeared somewhere and now only occupies 7th place. I understand that the point of this tournament is that you need to play in every stage so that you don't get overtaken!

The example is a bit off. I understand that you can't go far in just one tournament, but after playing well in three, you can stay at the top for a long time. And notice that Levitat's rating is not decreasing; his position in the rating is decreasing because he is being overtaken. And if Kamikaze hadn't played in this tournament, his rating would have remained the same, but now it has decreased. So it turns out that it's better not to play at all than to play a little worse than you played before. That's what I think is wrong.
