So, I was pouring over this page (in order to find out when exactly vankusss first surpassed xaelar) as van's wiki page was two years out of date. Anyway, it seems that wiki info we have for the grandmaster page is inaccurate. I only count 11 trades of 0ths (although others might not have made the chart). Now, I have made it 11, but I'm happy to revert to 13 if we can get some more concrete info. The other thing that doesn't make sense to me is that according to the chart, trib4l and johnny didn't trade other than when johnny first overtook trib4l in November 2005, so why does it say they traded 5 times in one year... I seem to remember that they did, but this is the problem when things like this aren't sourced. According to the chart, Trib4l had taken the title off kaellstar, who had a very brief stint as grandmaster...

So... what is going on here? Is this some effect of using different tables? Has it got something to do with ignoring (or lack thereof) of players such as crappi, kryx, L3X, naem, etc.?

I'm calling for Eddy's help on this, as he seems to be as good of a historian as he is a player, but anyone else is welcome to help figure this mess out.

Cheers.

Indeed, according to the original forums' highscore rankings thread, it seems like that number 5 comes from only the trades in the v1.4 level boards (60-99), which back then were separated from the 1.3 levels until they were merged on 2006. trib4l was way ahead in the 1.3 boards, hence they never really traded the overall grandmaster position until johnny surpased him in November 2005, and trib4l never claimed it back, so it's actually been 1 single real trade all this time. Of course, that we can know of, they were really close during several months, but rankings had to be done using spreadsheets, so probably they did trade the overall spot, but that's gone unreported I think.

On the flip side though, it seems like the "4 trades" between van and xela is extremely conservative. Only based on the graphs (which themselves are extracted from all NHigh files we've gathered) I can already count 8, maybe 9 trades:

This probably compensates, or even overcompensates, the extra trades that were being attributed to the old-schoolers.

Hmm... I've restored it to how it was... it would be nice to find the origin of the Johnny/Trib4l grandmaster battle supposition, though.

It either happened in reality but wasn't recorded in the highscore rankings thread, or was a misconception based only on the trades in the v1.4 boards, which as I mentioned, did happen around 5 recorded times. I'm inclined towards this second option, although I do believe they probably traded the grandmaster spot too, without even noticing it.
