This site was created as an updated version of https://golem.tasuki.org to include new games.

Monster rating for each player is calculated like this:

for each game in games {
    if (game.rating > 1500) {
        // we only count games the player is good at, no penalty for being worse-than-default
        monster_rating = monster_rating + game.rating - 1500
    }
}

i.e. in human language, the sum of points exceeding 1500 for all games.

Go ratings are numeric. Here are the formulas:

for dan ranks:

GO_ZERO - 50 + (50 * rank_number)

for kyu ranks:

GO_ZERO + 45 - (50 * rank_number)

GO_ZERO = 2205

rank_number is simply the decimal number before the rank type

Few “rating: rank” pairs that might be of interest:

• 1500: 14k (with any better rank you are getting monster points)
• 2000: 4k
• 2150: 1k
• 2155: 1d (yes, on LG, the difference between 1k and 1d is not one rank – it is one tenth of a rank
• 2355: 5d

How the site works (it's mostly intuitive):

• clicking on game name sorts players by their rating in that game
• clicking on “update” updates that player's ratings
• clicking on player's name takes you to that user's LG profile

Your comments and ideas for improvement are highly appreciated!
