You can't mix and match Snowie and GNU figures.

Let's use the grandmaster figures I got yesterday.

Ray : 3.6 and 4.8 (average 4.2)

David: 2.7 and 7.9 (average 5.3)

My point has never been to say I am a better player than you. It has been to say you are not as good as you think you are.

You appear to have improved a lot from a few years ago where you would play in the range of 4.5 - 6. So well done on that!

However, I don't think an error rate of 4.2 (small sample I agree) makes you one of the best players in the world. Especially as I used to play better than that and I am a crap player.
