Which of these are above, say, 2200-2300? Vincent has moved up from 2250 to 2300 during the last year. But don't forget the GM Drazen Marovic, posting here some times! From my view a player with rating ELO 2250-2350 is not a *strong* chessplayer. Also taking the inflation of rating numbers into account. In my active chess playing years (the 70th), I had a rating of 2290-2310 myself. And I would never dream of looking at myself as especially strong in chess! Locally yes, but you get to know your shortcomings when playing international! Like GM Walter Browne once told me in Netanya, Israel - "So you learn the hard way, huh..." ;-) Sune
