Why is Chris Smith not on the team with his really big rating ? :- http://web.mac.com/xrissmith/Chess/Rating/1dec07.htm

Only GM Chandler is higher rated in New Zealand. Dont we want our best players ?

Thats not a International or National rating but from the Hastings & Havelock North rating list, which is not scaled correctly. See a rough scale below

1000 - Beginner
1500 - Average Club Player
1800 - Strong Club Player
2000 - Expert
2300 - International Master
2500 - Grandmaster
2700 - Super Grandmaster class
2750+ - World Champion

National rating can be found here

NZ team ratings are from 2300-2540(approx)
