In rebel a pawn is something like 0.70, so 5.0 is 5 / 0.7 is like 7 pawns. Now most positions that i adjudicated as a win were something like KRPP versus KBP Without EGTB you sure don't keep that a draw. And that sure is not +5.0 in Rebel, as that's less than 7 pawns down. >2)You cannot know the real rating of someone who is not in the list. But from Ed i know that it's not near 1400, Frans morsch perhaps 1500, and Johan may be happy with with 1200. >It is possible that Ed Schröder could have 2200 elo rating and is not playing in >tournaments. For ed that's 0% chance >I think that it is possible to improve to 2200 elo level only by reading books >and playing against programs For smart kids yeah, not for a 40 or 50 year old that never plays his program. Note that i hardly play DIEP too. I only test positions/games at it, but that doesn't improve my chessplay. In contradiction, WORKING at a chessprogram makes you play worse, as you get lazy and start believing its output. >Uri
