Well, Movei = 2533 is not realistic when it is compared to other rating lists
(http://www.geocities.com/lyapko/rat30.htm, the rating in WBEC is stil inflated
about 100 to 150 elo points) and the rating pointed out is based in Nunn
Openings.

Must I think that is an absolute rating?

I know that I can be there, but Uri Blass are on the absurd ground already for
years. It is not easy to deal with that. (y)
