Clarifications:
1. I am using the FIDE posted (KO website info) start ratings
2. Only standard time control games are rated in my TPR calculation
3. Calculations only through the Round 6 (i.e. second standard games of
Khalifman-Nisipeanu & Adams-Akopian):
Polgar Adams Akopian Khalif. Nisipeanu
Player 2671 2708 2646 2628 2584
Ave Opp 2592 2664 2637 2636 2637
TPR 2692 2744 2904 2769 2837
It is remarkable, isn't it, that Akopian, Khalifman, and Nisipeanu all have ave
opponent ratings (full 6 rounds--all three players) within only 1 rating point!
