I don't say it isn't. I just answered a question. Anyway, if you had machines with a speed such that the achieved ratings between 2800 and 4000, the elo formula would make perfect sense for comparing those numbers. It's the same as if you compare Kasparov with a 1000 ELO rating. You can say it's nonsense, but Kasparov exists and people with 1000 ELO exist. José C.
