In a classical chess round-robin tournament, each of players wins, draws, or loses a game against each of the other 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 players after games, i.e. the distribution of the maximal score, second maximum, and so on. The exact distribution for a general seems impossible to obtain; we obtain a limit distribution.
