User 216602 is an IGM according to his profile.
Though his RHP rating of 2115 seems rather low for a Grandmaster.

its a corr. site!


I'm confident a corr. master would beat a GM in corr play --- so long as the GM was playing the same as they would OTB

Surely the rating should be higher for an OTB GM with longer time controls & book/db references though?
2115 is 400 points below what you'd expect - that's a huge difference.

I suppose he could be blitzing his games or trying unusual ideas or something.

Around 2400 I think.
His profile clearly says IGM though...
