Hi mitto, great post.  You picked an important event from all the action going on right now.  

A question someone posited: Where does Gibraltar rank among elite events?  

My eyes will be on the Tata Steel final round on Sunday.

200 pts tends to denote a difference in class.  If 2500 is a GM, then 2700 would be a super GM.  Until recently, there were few players above 2700.  There is no actual title of super GM.  See http://www.2700chess.com/ for up to date ratings.  Good to have you in the group TheSingingCricket!
