My newer thoughts:
Icarus will very soon be top
Little Bear will later overtake icarus
Curator will also if curator can get back online (can anyone afford a membership for curator to give a little encouragement?).
Archbold also has a high future but will take some time(archbold's only loss was a six move timeout to a 1447 opponent!)
Icarus has lost to both David Tebb and Little Bear.
Can he get to number one ? Absolutely. The rating system is skewed in favour of the stronger players who play a large number of games, so even if he loses a few he has a fair chance of challenging for number one. Whereas our friend Archbold has no chance at all given his past level of activity.
I'd certainly like to see a big challenge event with several of the top players that could answer some of the questions as to who is the strongest. Maybe when the Clash of the Titans is over ?

To me, Mephisto is the best player on the site, he has never lost to anyone of the Top 20, trashed (well, that's a really big word...) both David Tebb and Icarus and gave LittleBear his only loss...π
Currently, a 1752 player (bagger2000, he is in the Dutch Clanπ) is beating bbarr in one game, so bbarr will lose some precious points in some time, that would mean that Icarus comes second, and bbarr in third position!

Originally posted by meyek3lyes but Ahcbold doesn't play more than 2 or 3 concurrent game. He get very concentrate and analize carefully everithing. All his games are quality ones.π
