Reply to this topic Return to forumCan I find somewhere an explanation of how the “Infinite tournament” works?
In particular what is the meaning of all those numbers?

Thanks
The basic idea of the infinite tournament is that every few weeks, you start a match with an opponent who has a similar score. It's essentially an infinite swiss-style tournament, and a good way to get a steady stream of games.
To begin from the leftmost column: There is the list of players, with their rating and number of games played, as well as points from the games (2 per win, 1 per draw, 0 per loss). The next column has the score; a large number representing their current score in the tournament, and a smaller one representing their all-time best. What follows is a list of games, with each game telling the placement and score of the player in the tournament at the time of the match.

What does the [40 P 33 G] under my name mean?
I think 40 P 33 G means that you played 33 games in this infinite tournament, and scored 40 points, where wins are worth two points.
