I'm a computer rated 4.0, but I often play open and 4.5 tournaments. Because of those matches, I had a UTR around 7. I think like 7.20 or something. Now, I thought that was a little low, because I have played with some boys 14s who were 7s and I beat them easily. I just figured the algorithm was still working itself out between groups, though.
I didn't check my UTR for quite a while, and I have only been playing 4.0 league matches. I checked it today, and I saw that all of the solid 4.0s are now 5s on UTR and the strongest 4.0s are at 6. This used to be about a point higher for both groups.
This just does not make any sense to me. A few of my teammates have Boys 12s and 14s who are UTR 5s and they cannot compete with 4.0 men. If anything, I thought the numbers needed to move in the other direction with solid 4.0s being UTR 7s and strong 4.0s being 8s.
I'm just curious if this seems right to other people. Do you think a 4.0 man would be even with the juniors who are rated as UTR 5s?
