Ok. The thing is that for me, short of results, I am incapable of even telling
apart even a human player rated 1950 from another rated 2000, where 50 points
would be more significant due to the lower rating. By that, I mean by watching
the games, whether 5 games or 100. You show me 20 games by a 1950 player, and
another 20 by a 2000 player, and without prior knowledge, I doubt very much I'd
be able to tell who was who based solely on the play, not the results. Here
you're saying you can identify the difference between the play of 2650 and 2700
based on watching the games.
