Cyrano is about to break the highest ranking 2652
He's already levelled with it now .. if he scores one more win he will have the highest 'Gameknot ELO' ever achieved here (since the new rankings off course).

Maybe he will try to go all the way to 2700 and cover another milestone. He was to first to reach 2400, 2500 and 2600 as well so ... Not sure about 2300 and lower since it must have been before I joined this site.

So much progress in 6 years...
When I started on GK, mateintwo was the top dog, with a rating I think in the mid-2400s. The 2500 milestone was passed amid a certain eclat, but I don't recall much once the 2600 was reached...
Congratulations to cyrano.

Congratulations to Cyrano ! I wonder if 2,700 is possible?!

Cyrano's rating has gone back below 2600 - sigh!
Hi everyone!

He got very close to 2700, in fact he was in the 2680s when he conceded a lot of Low Draws which cost him a shedload of points. His current rating is 2592 - hope it goes back up again (although not at my expense as I am playing him at the moment!).

That's the problem...
with being the highest ranked player on Gameknot, I guess - though he hasn't lost a game in a
long time, he's had a lot of draws, which means rating point deductions for him... well, that's still
set a high benchmark there, so good on him!
