Akopian, Khalifman, and Nisipeanu played round 1 whereas Polgar and Adams did not. This lowers the average rating of their opponents (i.e. the ratings should level out a little more once you use round 2+ data only). Also, the rating posted at the web site are January 1999 ratings. The July 1999 rating came out and should they are more up to date. Could you please redo this showing both with and without round 1 using the July ratings? Thanks, KarinsDad :)
