Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Firast of all 2799.6 is not the 280 club…and he got those points beating up on players 100 points lower rated than he is. Bleh..
So does FIDE round off the rating?
Dunno, Um tryin to learn right now, Susan have a person of African descent ever made their Traditional List? If not WHY?
All humans everywhere are of African descent, since that’s where the species evolved. I would be very interested in the stats of any top players who weren’t of African descent.
Supposedly, FIDE rounds up. So what? The rating system has gotten absurdly inflated anyway. But if there is a class of super-elite players in the world, Kramnik belongs in it. I strongly doubt that Carlsen could take him, in a 12+ game match at a decent time control — not that that’s ever likely to come about.
