Not the highest, the coolest.

I'm very pleased to have just lost a game that currently puts me at 2001 - that was a great film & I'm happy to be there. Other Brits might also enjoy being rated 1066 - or maybe not if you think that was a poor moment in our history.

What would your favourite be?

I have to admit, I'm not a fan of 2075. The only mildly interesting bit is that Global Warming is finally revealed as a hoax. Oh, and Daniel Radcliffe wins the Oscar for Best Actor (for his role in "Star Wars Episode XXI: Now It's Just Getting Silly") at the 147th Annual Academy Awards.

2200 is pretty nice since it's an often-used threshold for "master". Palindromes are nice too, maybe 1111. 808 would be a good rating if your name was Robert.

Which reminds me 80085 might be fun - you'd be damned good at chess too

I don't know exactly...but (at least according to legend) the high school I went to spawned that whole 420 thing.

Yep, that's the place! Not sure why they waited till 4:20 to rendezvous btw (since school let out at 2:20). Guess maybe it took them all that long to remember they had a meeting...

That thing about Waldos was a new one on me though. Weird too, cuz we always used the word "waldo" (or "wald") to refer to a geek (when of course we weren't using "geek").

I remember saying 420, assuming that it was something that everyone everywhere else said too (little did I know how local it was). We all thought it came from the police code meaning a narcotics bust ("One-Adam-12, One-Adam-12...a 211 now in progress. One-Adam-12, handle code three").

I think 2500 - a real milestone, GM level

although 2800 seems to be pretty cool now.

Well, it fluctuates, it's always one lower than my rating. Because I'm always cool, you see?
