Monte-Carlo Simulation of Chess Tournament Classification Systems

چکیده
What makes you win a chess tournament? You should be talented, but the choice of opponents will influence your final ranking as well. This article compares different ranking systems from mathematical point of view, such as the Swiss system and the elimination method and discusses how to handle tiebreaks. In order to judge which system is fair, a theoretical analysis by means of an appropriate error function is made, as well as simulations with the Monte-Carlo method.

Loss of Load Expectation Assessment in Deregulated Power Systems Using Monte Carlo Simulation and Intelligent Systems
Deregulation policy has caused some changes in the concepts of power systems reliability assessment and enhancement. In this paper, generation reliability is considered, and a method for its assessment using intelligent systems is proposed. Also, because of power market and generators’ forced outages stochastic behavior, Monte Carlo Simulation is used for reliability evaluation. Generation r...
متن کاملKinetic Monte Carlo Simulation of Oxalic Acid Ozonationover Lanthanum-based Perovskitesas Catalysts
Kinetic Monte Carlo simulation was applied to investigation of kinetics and mechanism of oxalic acid degradation by direct and heterogeneous catalytic ozonation. La-containing perovskites including LaFeO3, LaNiO3, LaCoO3 and LaMnO3 was studied as catalyst for oxalic acid ozonation. The reaction kinetic mechanisms of each abovementioned catalytic systems has been achieved. The rate constants val...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Simulation to Compare Markovian and Neural Network Models for Reliability Assessment in Multiple AGV Manufacturing System
We compare two approaches for a Markovian model in flexible manufacturing systems (FMSs) using Monte Carlo simulation. The model which is a development of Fazlollahtabar and Saidi-Mehrabad (2013), considers two features of automated flexible manufacturing systems equipped with automated guided vehicle (AGV) namely, the reliability of machines and the reliability of AGVs in a multiple AGV jobsho...

MCC, a UCT based Chess engine, was created in order to test the performance of Monte-Carlo Tree Search for the game of Chess. Mainly by modifications that increase the accuracy of the simulation strategy, the performance of the base implementation was improved by approximately 864 Elo. MCC performed still too bad to compete with Minimax based chess programs or to seriously suffer from search tr...
متن کاملA numerical study of tournament structure and seeding policy for the soccer World Cup Finals
Tournament outcome uncertainty depends on: the design of the tournament; and the relative strengths of the competitors – the competitive balance. A tournament design comprises the arrangement of the individual matches, which we call the tournament structure, the seeding policy and the progression rules. In this paper, we investigate the effect of seeding policy for various tournament structures...
