But the average would be higher if they didn't factor in all the 1200 players that never played a game (at least for online)

Pretty sure that before you play an online game your rating shows as 'unrated', so wouldn't be included in the average.

I disagree, I have played several players under 1200 a couple even beat me and I play chess for a living.... I have a 2182 pro rating... who knows how many people use progams too..

We all play chess for a living. I'm the producer of the program, "Quit your Job! Close your Eyes! Be a Winner!"

My pro rating is 2550.
