WESPA Rating

Finally the new WESPA rating has arrived.
My new rating is 1600.
Due to the fact that I haven't played 50 internationally rated games my name is not featured on the main rating list, which is sad. Had I been there, I would be ranked in 345th place in the world.

The new number one in the world is Ganesh Asirvatham who hasn't played since June 2008. Nigel Richards (this year's WSC runner-up) is in 2nd place. Pakorn Nemitrmansuk (current World Scrabble Champion) is 3rd. Fair enough?
