| Aug 7, 2018 at 16:33 | comment | added | acye | @DM - I asked two questions, my answer here was to the 2nd question, about a resource to find k per nation. However, you have a valid point and provided valuable info that I did not know, regarding what you wrote about k changing in certain countries (the US in this case). | |
| Aug 7, 2018 at 14:54 | comment | added | D M | I feel like you're begging the question here. OP asks if you can use the FIDE ratings calculator if you know K, and you suggest to use the FIDE ratings calculator to find K. That only works if the answer to his question is "yes". Even if that's the case (which you can't just assume) K can change based on several factors - heck, in the USCF it changes based on how many games you played in a particular tournament; shorter tournaments have higher K. So even if your derived value was correct, it might not be accurate if applied to other tournaments or players. | |
