The Sonneborn-Berger score (or the Neustadtl score) is a scoring system often used to break ties in chess tournaments. It is named after Hermann Neustadtl, who proposed it in a letter published in ''Chess Monthly'' in 1882. It is often called the Sonneborn-Berger score, though this is something of a misnomer, since William Sonneborn and Johann Berger were actually strong critics of the system; they proposed their own tie-breaking system that added in the raw score of each player, but that did not help with tiebreaking, so it was never popular and is not used today. More common tiebreaking methods in chess tournaments include the Neustadtl Sonneborn-Berger score, head-to-head score, Koya score, or favouring the player with the most wins (or black games). In Swiss system events, comparison of the Buchholz scores and the sum of progressive scores are common. ==Neustadtl Sonneborn-Berger score== A player's ''Neustadtl Sonneborn-Berger score'' is calculated by adding the sum of the conventional scores of the players he/she has defeated to half the sum of the conventional scores of those he/she has drawn against. The main point is to give more value for a win/draw against a player ranked high, than for a win/draw against a player ranked low in the tournament.〔(Chess.com: Tie-break methods )〕 Since players may share the same Neustadtl score, further means of breaking ties may be required; common methods include considering the score in games played between the tied players or favouring the player with the most wins. Some tournaments do not use Neustadtl to break ties at all (Linares, for example, gives preference to the player with the most wins), and others use no tie-breaking method at all, sharing the prize money on offer between players. In national championships or events which act as qualifying tournaments for others, there may be a blitz playoff between the tied players. Neustadtl remains the most common tie-breaking method in round-robin tournaments, though in Swiss system events, comparison of the Buchholz scores and the sum of progressive scores is more common. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sonneborn-Berger score」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
