Thanks for the info and also for the URL for the web site.  I was writing from
memory as to what I thought were the differentials between the higher and lower
rated players.

Still a 1000 point differential (3800 - 2800) on that web site says "approaching
100%" and means that this super-monster clobbers Kasparov or Kramnik 10-0 in ten
games.  (Or 20-0 in twenty games!)

So I'll still say that's some pretty damn good chess!!
