Hi Jouni:
Pêrhaps you forget that Elo ratings is a RELATIVE score measured inside a pool
of participants. So, you can get better in absolute chessic terms and even so to
get a lower score if the competence gets better also and so you get less points
from them. Precisely because this last happens, you see an slower rate of score
improvement. Paradozicaly, this is a show of how much average top programas has
improved.
