First it is a _false_ assumption.  The lower you are rated, the "higher"
your "resistance" factor.  Because if you are number 1, you can not _play_
number one to get the benefit of his total score.  It is pretty common to
see crosstables where players below 1 have a higher "sum of opponents"
score.  For the reason mentioned...
