I think that the people existing are who make the rating big or not,if we assume that there are no top players here then top players will be from ordinary players or maybe they are top players also trying moves and don't want to be known,maybe
Top players
Sort:
I have a rather interesting question: why is there that in the top 30 players there is only 1 master (FIDE master), simplechess?
Is not weird that the professionals of the chess business do not beat ordinary people? Or is it that top rated are anonymous Kasparovs? Or is it that they are also GM or FM but don't want to reveal it? And what would they win with that?
Or is it they this top-rated people, >2700, makes Houdini-based moves?... (some research: Houdini is one of the best engines in the moment) Also, the top players are always getting banned, and changing...
