I have three points to make: 1. I looked at FIDE site, list of TOP 100 Men, July 1, 1999 rating list, and it matched 4 of the 5 players I mentioned in my above posts. Nisipeanu was not in the TOP 100, but I read another post in another thread above and the figure I used for Nisi is what the other person claims is in the FIDE July 1, 1999 list. 2. I made a mistake replying to KarensDad since I was thinking of my calculated TPR ratings when I replied, and not the Ave Opp Rtgs he was discussing--sorry about that! I see I do make errors--hmmm. 3. Here are the requested additional calculations (Player ratings are unchanged, and are from July 1, 1999 FIDE List, best I can verify): polgar adams akopian khalifman nisipeanu Player 2671 2708 2646 2628 2584 Ave Opp with Rd 1 2637 2636 2637 Ave Opp without Rd 1 2592 2664 2655 2653 2664 As pointed out by KarinsDad, without Rd 1 opponents in the calculations the ave opp rtgs faced by Akopian, Khalifman and Nisipeanu are closer to the ave opp rtg faced by Adams (but *not* Polgar, who faced a lower ave opp rtg). Of course, the three latter names also played *more* rounds than Polgar and Adams, who were eliminated at earlier rounds, and Adams played one more round than Polgar, so there no 'apples to apples' comparison on the bottom row above. If I have compared apples to oranges and you want apples to apples, please let me know which apples you want compared and I will oblige. :) --Steve Boak
