You are right, Bertil. I realize I made a mistake. Of course, now I am looking
at the SSDF list proper (unadjusted), whereas in 1993 all I had available were
"US-ratings adjusted" copies of the list, such as that published in CCR.
Obviously, they must have added 200 points to the ELO, but on the copy I have
handy it does not specify that any adjustment was made. I apologize for the
confusion.
