Gian-Carlo,
It is interesting also the statistics that follow the list. 'Challenger'
(for one) has very select opposition. Many of the 'Other lists' top contenders
have not played against it. It has been discussed before how to 'curve' any
given ratings list, we both know this is nothing new. I feel the reference ELO
is inflated, this also gives the top numbers a BIG feel to them.
I see those who might lose $$ from bad comments are verbally lashing out.
Indeed, I feel it is poor business practice. I would no longer consider their
product from what was written in this thread. Regards, BK
