Throw all the ratings out, this guy, Larry Christiansen played 26 Grandmasters
in the past 2 months on WCN with a time control of 25 minutes per game and as i
said before that he scored an incredible 18.5 to 7.5 against his opposition who
are Grandmasters from all around the World! Many of them are well know with
fairly high FIDE ratings! I will post them with their ratings if you like!
