Some of you may remember the JRLOK/ICC/Scrappy controversy where JRLOK and Robert were accused of creating an unfair condition where JRLOK could play scrappy at a certain timecontrol and the others could not, this leading to JRLOK's rating getting unfairly inflated to get him on top of the best list etc... After some fuss with the 'records' file, ICC appearently got a clue and made a new ratings category where you can't pick your opponents nor the timecontrols. (a very good idea IMHO) But, I couldn't keep myself from laughing when I looked at the best lists today: Blitz Bullet 5-minute (Human only) 3396 JRLOK(GM) 2903 Hawkeye(GM) 2458 JRLOK(GM) 3392 chaozz(GM) 2811 pap(GM) 2392 GodGusti(IM) 3367 tnedev(GM) 2778 Pittiplats(IM) 2389 Hawkeye(GM) 3343 velimirovi(GM) 2775 GodGusti(IM) 2354 babloo(GM) 3308 L-Aronian(GM) 2774 Stager(GM) 2353 Kastor(IM) 3275 Dlugy(GM) 2765 Indiana-Jo(GM) 2350 DrainYou(GM) 3255 zpx(GM) 2760 Sunofeast 2339 garompon(GM) 3228 norival(IM) 2749 garompon(GM) 2321 D-Fridman(IM) 3216 Minotauro(IM) 2743 narciso(IM) 2317 Snooker(GM) 3202 DusantheGr(GM) 2737 Dreev(GM) 2312 Kevlar(GM) 3195 NKMZ 2729 Kastor(IM) 2310 Eraser1 3188 garompon(GM) 2711 Bodryachok(IM) 2305 bakinec(IM) 3185 RuznaMamun(GM) 2690 Premover 2284 Biblos(GM) 3178 Gela(GM) 2686 MortalFear 2282 Pittiplats(IM) 3178 pap(GM) 2676 LarryC(GM) 2281 FabsiD(IM) 3168 Dreev(GM) 2669 KingLoek(GM) 2281 J-Becerra(GM) 3147 A-Riazants(GM) 2665 Dlugy(GM) 2280 phips(GM) 3138 Kalinatori(GM) 2664 YearOfTheR(IM) 2272 maradona 3133 Igrok(GM) 2662 severomors(GM) 2271 bani(GM) 3121 severomors(GM) 2661 DusantheGr(GM) 2266 MrUnknown(IM) 3115 bonvivant 2657 AmericanNerd 2256 Belov(IM) 3112 Snooker(GM) 2653 DrainYou(GM) 2250 Ruslan(GM) The IM who started complaining about JRLOK has a 5-min rating of...2032. His notes now contain some nasty remarks about Robert not having balls and so :) Reality hurts, I guess. -- GCP
