Well I thought I worded the question fine, exactly as I meant it. I think your problem is not with the wording of the question, but rather the fact that I implied that hiarcs was a grandmaster, which is simply an opinion. Now if you want to nickpick and argue semantics regarding the definition of grandmaster be my guest, you will be doing it alone. All i wanted was a answer to my question which was how often is a 1900 expected to draw a grandmaster.
