Bob, I don't think this is a ridiculous idea, there are just a lot of problems that must be solved first before it can be done correctly. Just because it hasn't been done well yet doesn't mean it cannot be! I seem to remember you are right about the Elo points. I think at one time there was a much larger difference but some gradual adjustments have been taking place over the years. -- Don
