Dann, At the risk of whipping a dead horse - IF it is true that there has been rating inflation over the past 30 years (perhaps as much as 100 points) then a player rated 2400+ in 1971 would be rated 2500+ in 2001. Still the same player - with the same knowledge and ability - but now he's a 2500+ player. That's not angels on the head of a pin. Sure, the general level of knowledge is greater - and perhaps there are more strong players, but certainly that can't explain ALL the rating disparity between now and then. JOHN
