The question about what I include or don't is out of place. I'm not talking here
about a hypothetical rating using games that I selected according to some
criteria (like many people here do). I'm talking about an official rating given
by the Israeli Chess Federation. I don't even know how they calculate the rating
or how they give weights to tournaments, but they rate Junior like they rate
everybody else, and they publish rating lists every 3 months.

This, BTW, means that the rating doesn't include many games Junior played in
unofficial events, like the Yudasin, Zifroni and Olympic team matches. If I was
making up my own rating I would have included them, but that's not what I'm
doing here.
