Travis reflects on a personal rating plateau before speaking with mathematician and Go player Nikola Tsarigradski about how different rating systems work. They compare Elo, Glicko, whole-history ratings, Fox-style promotion systems, and the dan-kyu system, with particular attention to uncertainty, predictiveness, handicap, and rating inflation or deflation. The episode then shifts to Gazza White, who explains the new international version of Korea’s Strongest Player tournament and how players were selected, scheduled, and represented across major Asian Go federations.
