Originally posted by Feiveli think that is fairly inevitable due to the cummulative nature of the ratings.
there are now 6 players over 2100! I recall when i got here there were only 2 players over 2000 and only 5 over 1900 plus about 10 between 18 and 19.
the ratings on chessworld have pushed through 3000 i believe.
people are probably playing more too.

Originally posted by Feiveli remember when i joined....there was a huge "WOW" when the top 20 was filled with everyone above 1700, to get on the top 20 map, 12000 would have done and i was in the top 200 players (197 with a rating of 1456)...and i thought i was getting worse. Ill use the excuse that there is just more better players on the site that can wip my ass!!

Interesting ...
It's the same as with the real FIDE ratings I suppose ... 50 years ago, not a single player was rated over 2750 and now we have a few (and Kasparov is even over 2800 ...)
I think like with money, there is a slight inflation in ratings too

Originally posted by FeivelI think peoples rating is dependant on how many people use the site. For someone to achieve a 2100 rating, they have to beat players that are of equal strength (other 2000+ rated players). If there are only 1 or 2 people rated that high, the prospective player would have to beat 1700-1900 players over and over, getting only a couple of points for each win which obviously takes ages. Once there is a core of players at this rating (as there is now) it is possible for prospects to play these higher rated players for their rating. A 1900 rated player beating a 2100 rated player gets 30 odd points for the win, accelarating their rise to the top.

Over the next couple of years the rating board will, i predict, rise up to 2300, as the number of super high rated players increases, so will the highest rating, they go hand in hand...
