This is an excerpt from Scid's ELO file
Tal is said to have had a rating of 2705 in 1980
but in 1979:2615 and in 1981:2555
Is the 1980 figure a mistake?

Tal, Mikhail N          #gm  LAT [2710] 1936.11.09--1992.06.28

Also, Fischer is said to have had a rating of 2780 in 1992 and as of 1999
But he did not play a single official tournament since 1972
Is Fischer's rating here a mistake or purely theoretical?
