Re: Interesting video
Very interesting to watch. Thanks for posting.
The ratings really jumped up. Has the strength of the top pros really increased that much or are we experiencing grade inflation? Cho was top in 1987 with a rating which was over 200 points below the 10th place in 2016 and about 250 points below the current top.

Still officially AGA 5d but I play so irregularly these days that I am probably only 3d or 4d over the board (but hopefully still 5d in terms of knowledge, theory and the ability to contribute).

Re: Interesting video
Thanks! That's a really neat video. It puts the level of dominance by some of the players into perspective. (Lee Chang-ho!) It's also fun to see eras where two players vying for the top position seemed to push one another to reach new heights.

I believe this is just a visualization of what's on 'goratings.org'.DrStraw wrote:The ratings really jumped up.
