Phil v ELO, men v women chess
?Phil is at it again, this time going through the obvious incompatibilitiy with NCAA v NBA (making you wonder why is he even bothering, but is actually a foreshadowing) to then look at men v women chess ratings.
I'll offer Phil even more relevant cases: MLB AL v NL, 2005-present (but since I cherry picked 2005, you should start in 2004). You can look at NBA West v East. And closer to home: CFL West v East, and NHL West v East.
It offers a good look at the "leakage" issue that Phil brings up, especially since inter-conference games are much fewer in MLB than NBA. IIRC, I think I looked at the CFL, and it seemed that the proportion of games was just about right, such that their win% represented their true talent levels. I think.
Anyway, would love to see the Phil-touch applied here.
