No I'm not assuming that. I'm trying to say the following: In every ELO-rating system I know, there's a maximum number of rating points the strongest player can be ahead of the second player. I think this number is somewhere at 750 points. (maybe it's 1000, or 500 - it doesn't really matter) Whether the strongest player effectively is 1000 points or 2000 points better than the 2nd doesn't matter. The player only being 1000 points better will more lose/draw to the 2nd player and _temporarily_ go back to "+749 points ahead". But that's it. Sargon
