@darknightoftroy Elo (not an abbreviation btw, named after a Hungarian guy not called Peter, thus not all caps) is basically on a logarithmic scale, i. e. all that matters is the difference between you and your opponent to calculate the odds of winning. As such, negative numbers would be no problem at all. Some of the finer points of calculating would have to be updated, but theoretically the principle would hold with negative ratings.

fibonacci112358s the only way to mantain material balance is to take the rook on a8 - rook for two knights. But black will play Qxd2, fxg2, Bh3, Ng4, black pawn will stay on g2 and all this is not pretty.

I have a question. In the game where the Rooks are in the G and H file and Ben moves his Rook to H3, couldn’t white move Queen to H2? No matter how it shakes out, white ends up with a rook and black has knight and Bishop. Probably still winning for black but better than checkmate.
