That is one factor that will surely effect the curves. For instance, if I have a trillion games played in pool 'A' and ten games played in pool 'B' then the number of points that transfer will be much higher. Of course, there can be a real effect where a certain type of player does better at particular time controls against particular opponents. In other words, the pools are not homogenious and the contests are not homogenius. >I don't think that you can say that a higher rating at one time control means >that the player is STRONGER at that time control than at a slower time control. >It's just a completely different ratings pool. Just think of how excellent your ELO will be at game in one second! I should think at least 4-5 thousand.
