Right - I saw those games, and I didn't think
I was watching any GM's. In fact, 1700 would
a be generous estimate.

You are way, way off in another galaxy.

Here is a link to an actual cross-table, from here
on planet Earth:

If you Andromedans are so very good at chess,
then why don't you challenge us Earthlings to a
match and *prove* it?

That cross-table is from a grudge match in
Earth year 2005; was there a more recent one?

As you can see, the two players performed in
the reverse of how their respective ratings would
have predicted. But combined, they averaged in
the very top of "Class A". Remember, you can't
just dismiss Mr. Sloan as a putz based on the
fact that he plays stupid openings; lots of good
players have played stupid openings, they just
didn't make a career out of it like Mr. Sloan has.
