Hi Teerapong, are you proposing to add bonus ratings to Chess Computers,
              or to ratings of top GM's or to the ratings according to
              tournaments wins versus draws or some other consideration?

              By the way, it's good to see your post for a couple of reasons.
              The topic brings up many different ideas on comparative ratings
              and since they are relative, why not have the top 5 or 10 GM's
              in the 3000 elo range?

              The other reason I am delighted to see your post is because I
              tried to locate you during my stay in Southeast Asia.  My son
              and I spent 40 days in Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Cambodia,
              Malaysia and a few other countries.  The lion's share of our
              adventure was spent in Bangkok.  But alas, I had misplaced your
              email address and I couldn't locate it through CCC at that time.
              Maybe things will work out next time.  If you would like, send
              me another private email, then we might connect, later on.

Regards,
Ron "the wanderer",
