Fergus, I suggest you use a different rating system, especially considering
how your current one is pretty arbitrary (we can nitpick about the 400
point difference as opposed to a 500 or 600 point difference, but we would
do by knowing in advance that one number is just as arbitrary as another),
and how it appears to be designed to judge people's 'future
performance' based upon observations of previous games that users were
told wouldn't count.  (Although that's really not /that/ big of a deal.)
 And if you encouraged users to add their computer programs to the fray,
the ratings, as such, would add an extra dimension of utility.
