That's not a joke number. Other weird things. In Aegon 1997 when i joined with diep and i played a GM, remember diep is spelt as DIEP but in dutch that's pronounced as 'deep' in english. My interface was having some blue colors. during the 6 rounds of action i got about 200 times the question whether i was playing there with Deep Blue. And that was a serious question usual. diep + blue screen = deep blue Simple nah? Most people, especially CCC users, they overestimate the normal people. Just like you should not overestimate my basketball knowledge. >On April 14, 2002 at 15:40:20, Vincent Diepeveen wrote: > >>In fact the rating difference between Nunn and me is 262 rating points. >>2312 versus 2584 (that's november 2001 list though, not sure whether >>either of us has dropped or gone up sincethen). >> >>2500+ means GM, so Nunn is GM.
