As many said previously, the absolute numbers mean nothing: it is the difference between the ELO numbers for two players that indicates relative strength. But I assume your question is posed about the rating system as it is now, not as it might be with a hypothetical 200 added (in which the answer is "It has been done already"). If a 'perfect player' starts off with a rating of 1500' and wins all its games, playing at each stage someone with its own rating (or the next one down), I wonder how long it would take before it was playing GK at the top, and then how long it would take to get to round numbers like 2900, 3000 etc. In fact, I do not know if there is an upper ELO limit, an asymptote for its ELO score. g
