Matt Noonan: Charles, I recently got a copy of the 2001 Yearbook and noticed these numbers. Does China use an Elo system or is the similarity just cosmetic? And if they use Elo, how to they link it to dan grades?
Charles I recently failed to get the 2001 book :(. China is the only one of the countries with a big pro system to have these ratings, which I believe are of the Elo type. (NB that the Zhongguo Qiyuan also has China's chess players, so that is natural enough for them.) I don't know the details, though.
