In a classical chess round-robin tournament, each of
$n$
players wins, draws, or loses a game against each of the other
$n-1$
players. A win rewards a player with 1 points, a draw with 1/2 point, and a loss with 0 points. We are interested in the distribution of the scores associated with ranks of
$n$
players after
${{n \choose 2}}$
games, that is, the distribution of the maximal score, second maximum, and so on. The exact distribution for a general
$n$
seems impossible to obtain; we obtain a limit distribution.
