Fergus has provided a volatile ratings system that will definitely add some excitment to our games here. Perhaps an 'Adjusted GCR' ranging between 500 and 2500, would be a little easier on the players' nerves, so to speak. This can be calculated by [A] doubling the GCR, [B] adding 1500, [C] dividing the total by 3.

Just saw Gary's Comment. I usually play no more than five casual games at a time, concentrating on them as if they were tournament games. Hence my (misleading) high rating.
