At Fics they are players with 500 elo in bughouse (while maximum is 2750); the
differnce is realy that big, i am about 1700 and I am so much better than those
having 500; the differnce is to big for words, at the other side; i am also
terrible worse compared to 2750... Amazing that such a big difference in playing
strength can exist.
Oh and at fics there is even a person with negative elo :)
history wwww
or history www
one of the two will tell you.
