Rating difference should be comparable, elo is designed so that a given rating difference is a given probability of beating your opponent.
- jrs99 13y agoyes, i believe that we can agree that it gives us some idea of where the players were relative to each other. but, at the same time, it's messy. and comparing the top two players only will probably not be as meaningful as looking at their games and their play. the interesting question is not that you can be dominant against bad competition, but you can dominate over great competition. I think we can agree on that point.
