| Royal Clifford Jones, Jr., has two master's degrees from the
University of Rhode Island, one in English (1971) and one in Computer
Science (1994). The title of his latest thesis is "Evaluating
Competitive Performance with Rankings and Ratings." His
interest in rating theory dates from 1974, when he corresponded
briefly with the late Professor Elo. He lives in Narragansett, Rhode
Island, with his cat Nicholas. His email address is royjones3@cox.net.
Authors note: I have respectfully used John Tenniel's illustrations for Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass (1871), a book that charmed my childhood and inspired my lackluster career in chess.
