   Yup.


   Are you unaware of

   Nope. But don't get me wrong. I sort of like these figures. After 26
   rated games vs different CM8 GM personalities I was rewarded the
   rating of 2694 - that's why I mentioned Linares...;) And I can assure
   you that my strength is not of GM or IM class. Just ordinary national
   Master standard (more or less retired - though not in age!)
