May-16-08    Knight13: No kibitzking on him? No kidding. He's 17 and owns a 2300+ FIDE rating, and a 2400+ USCF. May-16-08    Benzol: Are all USCF ratings 100 points higher than their FIDE equivalents? May-16-08    Karpova: <Benzol> Not always but they are still inflated. Compare: http://main.uschess.org/component/o... http://ratings.fide.com/topfed.phtm... May-17-08    Benzol: <Karpova> Interesting. Thanks. Sep-25-10    GrahamClayton: Ludwig burst onto the scene by winning the First Saturday tournament in February 2009, and picking up a GM norm, but according to the database does not seem to be active in 2010. Is he still playing?
