Unlikely (that Akizy will replace Ironman at the top) - too few games being played.

Obviously none of them, not Akizy nor Myrthir, is able to overcome IronMan.

IronMan joined on March, 17 of 2004 and until today he has moved 20,920 times, which gives a 59.43 moves per day (MPD).

Akizy has a move frequency of 8.3 MPD, far behind IronMan, but he can say that he played two games against the site monster and has scored a win and a draw.

Myrthir, I don't know why he was remembered, has a move frequency of only 15.77 MPD, and his lost was against an obscure player named Prefect rated 1889 right now, and he didn't systematically played the top players.

IronMan, on the other hand, plays the top 20 systematically.

So, I just can't find someone able to be at the first place apart from IronMan.

I had considered the two unbeated players between the top 20, Weyerstrass and Northern Lad, but they seem don't achieve the level to do it too.

Weyerstrass has a move average of 27.21 MPD, much better than Akizy and Myrthir, but far behind IronMan.

And Northern Lad has 37.32 MPD, better than Weyerstrass, but still far behind the monster with 59.43 MPD.

BTW, both, Northern Lad and Weyerstrass are playing against IronMan:

Game 810608
Game 810662

Game 685913
Game 685914

Maybe this games could say something.

Another strong statistics number in favor of IronMan is the number of game he's playing right now: 71.

Weyerstrass are playing 31, Northern Lad, 28, Akizy, 22, and Myrthir (why was he mentioned?😠), only 10.

So, long life to IronMan31, the king.

for myself i think that if you can bet the top player you should be 1#. So i guess then casue Akizy bet ironman i think he should win.

Haven't played the unbeaten players Weyerstrass and Northern Lad yet. Akizy is definitely a top contender...but he plays too few games as compared to IronMan. I suggested Myrthir coz i am convinced about his quality. But he too don't play many games. It was a suggestion on the basis of quality. But given the number of games IronMan plays it is hard to see anybody displace him for atleast the next 2 years!!

akizy and ironman only gain significant points by beating the 2000+ players.

akizy is playing 14 2000+ players.
ironman is playing 21 2000+ players.

akizy finishes about 100 games per year.
if akizy is good enough then it will be done within months, regardless of whether they play each other again soon.

akizy's win against ironman suggests that the talent is there ...
ironman's analysis suggests that ironman knows where he went wrong.

does anyone know of a tourney where they are destined to soon meet?
it is time for a rematch!

fight! fight! fight! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT !!!!! ! ! ! ! ! !

Have a look at this site: http://www.rsssf.com/miscellaneous/unoff-wc.html . It's that idea for football, Ireland were 'champions' last year after beating Czech Rep in a friendly! 😀
