I don't trust icc ratings they are inflated and can't be compared to fide
rating. also, the time control in standard is typically 15 min on icc. and
computers have been known for 5 years to be better at this time control then the
top humans. but that is not "real" chess.

ssdf is much better rating because the time control is >2hr, all they need is to
recalibrate the scale
