Yes, but this wouldn't explain some large differences for 90 and 360 games. By the way, if I am not wrong, the result is not exactly 2/3, more like 0.69. And the maximum likelihood is still at 3/4. As for 90 and 360, the results are 0.747 ans 0.749, would be hardly visible in ratings, which, it seems, are compressed in Bayeselo by the artifficial draw rules and priors.


INT from 0 to 1 p^3 (1-p) dp = [ 1/4 p^4 - 1/5 p^5 ] from 0 to 1 = 1/4 - 1/5 = 1/20

INT from 0 to 1 p^4 (1-p) dp = [ 1/5 p^5 - 1/6 p^6 ] from 0 to 1 = 1/5 - 1/6 = 1/30

E(p) = (1/30) / (1/20) = 2/3

The maximum likelihood is indeed at 3/4, but that is not what is significant for making accurate predictions. The prediction error is minimal in the sense of least squares only when you predict the average.

As for the difference betwen 90 and 360 games I would not know, without further looking into what games exactly these were. I suppose this was not a plain match between two opponents, because in that case indeed the effect of the prior should be negligible. Note furthermore that the prior can be switched off in BayesElo.

There is nothing 'artificial' about the 'draw rules' (assuming you mean double-counting of draws). This aspect of the model was confirmed by analysis of the actual computer data. The likelihood of a single draw is indeed equal to that of one win plus one loss within a reasonable accuracy. Any analysis that does not take account of that fact just sucks, in the sense that it expands the rating scale, predicting too extreme results between the top and bottom dwellers.
