I think it is near >1900 USCF -- but that may be near 1800 FIDE -- not really sure -- my take was >that USCF was near 100 points higher than FIDE, but I haven't looked in a while. 1900 ssdf is supposed to be equivalent to 2000 fide. in the beginning the ssdf was supposed to be equivalent to Fide for the weak programs but the ssdf reduced the rating of all the program by 100 elo.
