Well mine _is_ based on data I have seen on Playchess, and "advertising" of
engines.

I remember Ruffian 2.1.0 being advertised as 100 elo stronger than 1.0.5..

Gandalf 5.0 being advertised as "Much stronger than 4.32H"..

Fritz 8 being advertised as 50 elo stronger than Fritz 7....

I am just a sceptic based on recent advertising, and the results I have seen.

As for the player in your chess club, by the looks of him, I would guess he is
rated more in the range of 0-1899.. Just off what you figure :)
