His USCF rating is 2449 http://www.64.com/uscf/ratings/12688370 He is an International Master. His nickname is Robocop, after the TV character. Can anybody help? Sam Sloan |
> I cannot find a FIDE rating for Saudin Robovic For some reason, he doesn't appear in the most recent FIDE rating list but he is in the January 2004 list, rated 2357 and marked as `inactive'. Inactivity doesn't seem to be a reason for non-inclusion as one Robert J. Fischer is sitting pretty on 2780.

Fischer is sitting pretty on 2780. If I recall correctly, Fischer's 2780 FIDE rating (which was his rating after his 1972 match with Spassky) decreased (or should have decreased) after Fischer's 1992 match with Spassky--*if* that was rated by FIDE--when Fischer's performance rating was less than 2780 FIDE. So what happened? Why is Fischer still rated 2780 FIDE? --Nick |

Why is Fischer still rated 2780 FIDE? Well, the logical conclusion from what you've written is that the match was not rated by FIDE. Or perhaps they did rate it but they then changed their mind?

In retrospect, I suppose that those rating lists must have been for the PCA, not FIDE. I could not think of a good reason why the PCA evidently would have rated the 1992 Fischer-Spassky match when FIDE evidently did not, so I asked my question in the hope that someone else here could explain it. --Nick |
