Estimate the ratings of four TT players

I'd say under 2000 

Actually I know the players in the top clip so i won't say a word now....

I'd say no higher than mid 2100.  My 2200 practice partner would probably beat all of them handily.

Do people think 2100 is all of a sudden world class?

ok...I watched a little more of the matches.  Of the 2 British players I can see the taller of the 2 above 2300. The shorter player mid 2200. I don't see him as being above 2300, but mid 2200 is a pretty good player.

Maybe the older fellow is a 2300 player, and the other guy is a 2200 - 2300 player.  Shoot me if I'm wrong...hey it's just an educated guess after watching a few minutes of their matches.

I've only played Ethan once a year or so ago and managed to win but like all players his age he is improving rapidly. Some of his shots when I played him were outstanding but he was a little hit and miss then. If he was "on" all the time he would be a bit of a handful to say the least.

The other player I have won once and lost once against again a few years ago. Last time I played him I lost 3-1 or 3-0 after a long weekend at County.

The other clip below them is interesting....

Has Zaman nationalized yet? I thought he was from Iran.

Didn't Han Xiao get to the USA finals once?


Double edit..yes he did and looking at his rating he was once 2600 if I've got the right guy.

Bob Chen is on the list and he first came to the US in 2014. Just trying to make sure we are comparing apples to apples. Most of the list comes from whether you affiliated yourself when registering with the USATT with a foreign country or a US address.

Also I get the distinct impression that APW was referring to the 100 US Top Men list found on USATT.

Yes. That is he.

I agree with you NextLevel - It's my understanding that it's the address (City, State) you put on the USATT membership application that makes you 'eligible' to be listed in the Top 100 U.S. Men list, not your legal status, e.g. permanent residency ("green card") or U.S. citizenship.

I was using this as a rough guide

quoting 'who would beat who' is silly, all players have a spectrum of wins /losses, they beat players higher and lose to players lower, if Simon is ranked 35, it means he is currently beating players ranked higher.
