In this project, you’re given a text file with chess tournament results where the information has some structure. Your job is to create an R Markdown file that generates a .CSV file (that could for example be imported into a SQL database) with the following information for all of the players:
For the first player, the information would be:
If you have questions about the meaning of the data or the results, please post them on the discussion forum. Data science, like chess, is a game of back and forth.
The chess rating system (invented by a Minnesota statistician named Arpad Elo) has been used in many other contexts, including assessing relative strength of employment candidates by human resource departments.
