I. Below is the 11 top countries with the most GM's
II. In the Top 11 countries the one with the highest GM average is Ukraine
at 2545.30 Elo with 37 GM's
III. In the Top 11 countries the one with the lowest GM average is
Yugoslavia at 2479.46 with 41 GM's
I think it is important to understand what it means to be an average Grandmaster
when discussing what we mean by GM strength for computers. Some in this forum
seem to insist that computers must perform like the Elite Grandmaster’s. Before
anyone considers them to be playing at Grandmaster strength.
This shows a lack of understanding in what a normal Grandmaster is, and what the
true strength of a normal or average grandmaster is, and their abilities, and
Elo status.
